The Church of Nostra Mare de Jesús
At the heart of the village is the white washed parish church of ''Nostra Mare de Jesús,'' considered to be the oldest church on the island. Despite the ever expanding sprawl of Ibiza town, there is still an open vista of the green fields and orchards towards the prominent hill of ''Dalt Vila''. It is thought that Franciscan friars established the site in 1498.
[Ibiza & Formentera’s Heritage, A Non-clubber’s Guide. Author: Paul R Davis Pub:Barbary Press, 2009, ] After fifty years the Franciscans left the site to the
Dominican order, who eventually moved to the better protected ''
Dalt Vila'' due to pirate raids. In 1755
that the old monastic building was turned into a parish church. What distinguished this church from others on the island is its altarpiece painted around 1500 by
Rodrigo de Osona.
The altarpiece has 25 painted panels, with the central panel having a representation of the Virgin and child. The surrounding panels have images of Saints and themes such as the Annunciation, Jesus Nativity, Resurrection, the Ascension.
