Puig de Missa: history and charm in Santa Eulalia

Perched on a hill in Santa Eulia, Puig de Missa rises, one of Ibiza‘s most iconic sites. This architectural complex not only offers panoramic views of the sea and the town, but also represents centuries of history, spirituality, and local tradition.

A 16th-Century Legacy

 

The Puig de Missa church was built in the 16th century as a religious fortress to protect the population from pirate attacks. Its architecture combines elements of Catalan Gothic and Renaissance architecture, with white walls, austere chapels, and an off-center portico that served as a meeting point for the locals.

Listed as a Site of Cultural Interest, this site preserves a 17th-century Baroque altar, chapels dedicated to local saints, and a modern image of Saint Eulalia, the town’s patron saint.
