Sant Francesc de s`Estany

The village of Sant Francesc has a parish church of great beauty, located next to the ponds of Ses Salines, which were already in use in Phoenician times and are still active today. This small church, almost a hermitage, was built to offer religious services to the salt workers, without them having to walk long distances.

This village also has another small church, dedicated to Sant Carles, in the place known as La Revista. It also has two coastal defense towers, the Sal Rossa and ses Portes, watchtowers from which the inhabitants of Sant Josep were protected from pirate attacks. Among the places of interest in the municipality is the picturesque salt port of sa Canal and the archaeological site of sa Caleta, where there was probably the first Phoenician city of the Pitiüses (founded in the seventh century BC), now listed among the assets of Eivissa that UNESCO declared a World Heritage Site in 1999.

From the surroundings you can take walks along ponds and reach the beaches of Es Cavallet and ses Salines, or the Cap des Falcó, where you can see spectacular sunsets.
