Set between the town of Santa Eulalia and the river, is the Puig de Missa, a shallow hill which has at its top, a church dedicated to the saint of the town’s name. Dating from the 16th century, the church has a somewhat mysterious origin although it is believed to have replaced one destroyed at around that time by Turkish raiders.
The church was built to act as a refuge in times of pirate attack, and its design is more complex that most other island churches and both its setting and views are superb. The cemetery beside the church is worth a visit for its quiet dignity, while the nearby houses are the familiar white Ibizan cubes.
