Puig de Missa is the striking whitewashed fortified church on the hill above Santa Eulalia des Riu. The complex dates back to the 16th century and was built at a time when churches on Ibiza served not only religious but also protective functions. Its elevated position and defensive construction made it an important refuge during attacks from the sea.

Today, Puig de Missa is above all a place for culture lovers, those seeking peace, and photographers. Around the church, you can explore the historic walls, the small churchyard, and the views over the town and surrounding area. The visit is ideal for a short detour, but can also be combined with a walk through Santa Eulalia.
