Ibiza history : Short version

Ibiza is part of the Balearic Islands, and human habitation dates from at least 5000 BC.
The Ibiza history tells us that the Balearic Islands were on Phoenician trade routes therefore Ibiza was conquered and inhabited by these Phoenicians.

Later on the Carthaginians did the same but more important they also founded Ibiza City, which became an important port in those days.
They also used Ibiza as their burrial grounds and constructed The Salinas for the saltmaking of  Ibiza's most important trading product
'White Gold' = Salt.
Later in Ibiza History came, in succession the Romans, Visigoths and Muslims. The Muslims left an important and recognizable imprint in the island's typical architecture and their traditional costumes.

The Muslims however were driven out during the Christian Reconquista in the 13th century and the islands became Catalan colonies, and by then they lost their importance for the region.
Ibiza was under Bourbon control for most of the 18th century.


The remains of domination by all these different cultures are still to be found on Ibiza, mostly restored.
T
he fortified Upper Town (Dalt Vila), the Phoenicia settlement of Sa Caleta, the Phoenician-Punic cemetery of Puig des Molins, and the Prairies of Oceanic Posidonia of the Natural Park of Las Salinas were declared World Heritage by Unesco on
14 December 1999.
Don't leave Ibiza island without visiting the reminders of passed times of Ibiza History.
