general Vara del Ray, who was born in Ibiza in 1840. The square in which

Monument
to Pirates (Monumento a los Corsarios)
Probably the only one
of its kind, this obelisk in Ibiza's harbour honors the memory of some
remarkable pirates, who defended the island from attack during the 18th
century, earning themselves the gratitude of the island, and a monument
that was erected in 1925.

Cave of Culleram (Cova d'es Culleram)
This large cave, first
discovered in 1907, was once used as a temple to the goddess Tanoit in
the days when the Carthaginians held sway over the island. Many of the
temple artifacts are now on permanent exhibition in the Museu Arqueologic in
Ibiza, but the original cave is still a popular stop for visitors.

Es Vedrá Rock
Towering almost 400
metres over the sea, this rocky pillar is a popular photography subject,
particularly at sunset. A popular activity is to take a boat ride to get
closer to the rock, before exploring the other isles nearby.
