Baluard de Sant Pere -(Saint Peter´s Bastion)

Here you will feel pushed back to the middle ages. If you are interested in history & stories, or if you are just visiting Ibiza with kids, this is for us one of the most exciting vantage points in the old town, Dalt Vila.

Saint Peter´s Bastion is the “corner” looking north-west and was in charge to cover the entrance to the Vila through “es Portal Nou” (the New Portal), defending the most exposed place to be attacked as it is in a place that allows an enemy to camp, it is the lower point of the Old Town once the Renaissence walls are closed, and the land is favorable for the one who attacks, not for the one who defends. This means again that these walls really are a masterpiece of architecture and engineering.
