Very close to the town of Ibiza, this town houses one the oldest churches in the island. It is believed that Franciscan monks were installed there in 1498. Then, in 1580, it was transferred to the Dominicans, but they had to abandon it just seven years later in order to take shelter in the fortified area of Dalt Vila from the intolerable pressure of piracy.

The church boasts one of the most valuable relics of the island: a Gothic altarpiece from the sixteenth century attributed to Rodrigo de Osona. Some experts consider its face of the Virgin to be one of the most beautiful among all the medieval iconography in Spain.
