Discover Es Cubells
Es Cubells is a quiet and lovely place, known for its stunning views and peaceful atmosphere. It's a great spot to visit if you want to experience a more traditional side of Ibiza.
The Famous Church of Es Cubells
The most famous landmark in Es Cubells is its beautiful church. It's a whitewashed building with strong side supports, and it faces the sparkling sea.
The first church here was started in 1864. A special Carmelite friar named Francisco Palau worked hard to make it happen. Francisco Palau was an important person in Ibiza's history. He spent a lot of time living like a hermit on the small island of Es Vedrà, which is nearby.
Sadly, the original church was destroyed during the Spanish Civil War. But a new church was built in 1957. This new church fits perfectly with its surroundings. Its traditional style, neat square, pretty gardens, and amazing location on top of a cliff make it a very popular place. Many couples choose to get married here because of its beauty.
A Special Monument
Close to the church, right on top of the Es Cubells cliffs, you'll find a monument dedicated to fishermen. This monument was put there in 1996 to honor all the people who work hard fishing in the sea around Ibiza.
