WHAT YOU VISIT
Dalt Vila Walking Tour
Catalan for Upper Town, Dalt Villa sits high atop a small mountain that boasts commanding views and wrapped in 16th century walls that Kings Charles I and Philip II of Spain had constructed to defend the town against the French and the Ottomans. Follow your knowledgeable guide along the fortified walls and
through the gates to St. Pere Bastion, one of the defensive bastions built during the Renaissance period. Once inside Dalt Vila, you'll walk to New Town, the beach, the salt pits, and the island of Formentera. Your guide will point out points of interest such as the Convent of the Dominicans (now the Town Hall) and the 14th-century cathedral, the Episcopal Palace, the Bishop's Residence, the Archaeological Museum, the Governor's house and the Contemporary Art Museum. The historical Saint Ciriac Chapel is the center of a yearly festival, which celebrates the commemoration of the Catalan Conquest.

From the medieval buildings to the panoramic views, your camera will be working overtime.
REFRESHMENTS
