1Ibiza’s Biodiversity and Culture
Not all of Spain’s UNESCO sites are man-made wonders—Ibiza is recognized for both its cultural heritage and natural environment. The island is famed for its fortified old town, Dalt Vila, which showcases Renaissance military architecture.
But UNESCO’s recognition also highlights Ibiza’s exceptional marine ecosystems, including the Posidonia oceanica seagrass meadows that are vital to Mediterranean biodiversity. Beyond its reputation as a party island, Ibiza’s blend of ancient history and ecological importance proves it’s much more than nightlife.
