Església de Sant Jordi

South Ibiza


Incongruously located in the suburbs 4km southwest of Ibiza Town, the fortress-like Església de Sant Jordi is well worth a quick diversion. A chapel has stood here since the 13th century, though the impressive present structure – its colossal white walls topped with full battlements to deter pirates – dates from the late 16th century.
