Ibiza’s Castle: D’alt de Vila: Wonderful panoramic views, a treasure trove of history. Overall, a very interesting place with an amazing story to tell... Uphill to get up to the cathedral about 20 minutes or longer depending on how fit you are. Perched on a small mountain overlooking the sea and a bird's eye view of the town with a series of terraces from which you will have privileged views of the bay and town and take pictures like crazy. Lots to see and do. The Cathedral, the museum, a contemporary art gallery. You could spend a whole day if you are keen on history. There are several trendy restaurants scattered along the way. A few shops too, but its the walls of the fortress that enclose a couple of thousand year's history which are there visible to the eye though sometimes hard to see because of all the alterations it has endured over centuries. Original Roman road Which has worn over time, so the cobblestone can be a bit slippery. It's quite a hill too, but you can stop to catch your breath on the way up whilst delighting yourself with the most amazing views. I’d recommend walking shoes or trainers which have a better grip on the sole. Don’t forget to take something to drink, especially in Summer. It requires a little effort to get to the top, but. Well worth the effort.

The Almudaina, now adjoined to the Castle, was originally the administrative and military headquarters of the Moslem 'Wali'. The Almudaina is a fortified site that held the military and administrative installations of the Moslem 'Wali'. It has an elongated plan and there are nine square towers on the premises. Several archaeological excavations have revealed structural ruins from the 12th and 13th centuries, although the current building is from the 16th century (the Ses Voltes building, whose doorway is crowned by the shields of the Crown of Aragon and the Governor Alonso de Zanoguera) and the 18th century (the infantry battalion barracks around the parade grounds). Also in the 18th century, the Almudaina was adjoined to the Castle after a section of the wall and the tower that was between both buildings collapsed. The building underwent a number of renovations in the 19th and 20th centuries (kitchens, gymnasium, and so on).

Dalt Vila, Ibiza's old town, is a super cool place to visit. It's full of history, with ancient walls, stunning monuments, and an amazing view of the city and the sea. Get lost in the narrow streets, browsing the craft shops and art galleries. Pop into one of the many typical restaurants to sample the local cuisine, or have a drink in a welcoming bar and soak up the atmosphere. Don't forget the souvenir photo from the top of Dalt Vila: the view is breathtaking! Tip: Wear comfortable shoes, because you'll have to do a bit of climbing. And if you come in summer, bring water and a hat, because the sun beats down! In a nutshell: Dalt Vila is a must-see in Ibiza. Don't miss it!

"When the Arabs ruled Ibiza (Yebisah) they built a large fortress, much of which is left standing today as later buildings have been built around it. Evidence of the Punic period and the Moorish occupation were discovered in the excavations of the castle. There are two main defensive structures still standing now. The "Baluarte de Sant Jaume" currently has an exhibition on the weapons used to defend the walls of Ibiza, showing visitors how the use of firearms affected the structure of the buildings. The "Baluarte de Sant Pere", on the other hand, houses an exhibition explaining how those walls were built, including a reproduction of Renaissance scaffolds.*

Ibiza Castle (Castell d'Eivissa) - Ein Ausflug in die Geschichte Das Ibiza Castle, auch bekannt als Castell d’Eivissa, ist eine der bedeutendsten historischen Sehenswürdigkeiten der Insel und thront majestätisch über der Altstadt von Ibiza, Dalt Vila. Diese beeindruckende mittelalterliche Festung besteht aus mehreren Gebäuden, die sich über Jahrhunderte erstrecken. Dazu gehören der Wehrturm aus der maurischen Ära, die Almudaina aus dem 8. Jahrhundert, das ehemalige Gouverneurshaus und die Infanteriekaserne aus dem 18. Jahrhundert. Unser Besuch dort dauerte etwa zwei Stunden. Ein wichtiger Tipp: Überprüfe vorher die Öffnungszeiten der einzelnen Attraktionen, da viele am Montag geschlossen sind, wie wir feststellen mussten. Dazu gehören das Museum und die Kathedrale. Wir empfehlen, die Runde durch den Wehrtunnel zu starten. Dieser Weg führt schnell steil nach oben, was den Abstieg später angenehmer macht, da er sich weniger zieht. Sei vorsichtig, denn die alten Kopfsteinpflaster können je nach Schuhwerk sehr rutschig sein. Der Besuch des Ibiza Castle bietet nicht nur historische Einblicke, sondern auch atemberaubende Ausblicke auf die Stadt und das Meer. Besonders beeindruckend sind die Bastionen Sant Jaume und Sant Pere, die heute Museen beherbergen. Der Sant Jaume Bastion zeigt eine Ausstellung über die Militärtechnologie vom 16. bis 18. Jahrhundert, während der Sant Pere Bastion die Geschichte des Schlosses und den Bau der Stadtmauer erläutert. Insgesamt war es ein schöner Ausflug, bei dem man die alten Gebäude und ihre Bepflanzungen genießen kann. Ein weiterer Tipp: Bringe Mülltüten mit, da es nur wenige Mülleimer gibt und es schade ist, dass viele ihren Müll einfach liegen lassen. Für alle, die Geschichte und spektakuläre Ausblicke lieben, ist das Castell d’Eivissa ein absolutes Muss auf Ibiza. --- **Like diese Bewertung, wenn sie dir gefällt, und abonniere meinen Kanal!**

Amazing authentic Ibiza feeling You can get here. Great view to Eivissa from the top for sure. I was surprised that castle is like small city inside. Cars driving, people living, bars, cafes, hotels etc. Inside this catle life is bubbling and it doesnt feel only like history... it's still so alive. I want to mention that there is possibility to get up with walking by stairs, but in our case I was with both kids and one is 2 years old in baby trolley, so we found also different routes to get to the top, where You can get even with baby trolley. This castle is like labirinth, You just have to find Your way to the top. 😉
