Pou des Plà de Corona, an almost untouched well
Out in the open countryside you come across the Pou des Plà de Corona. Stories from another Ibiza.
One kilometre from Santa Agnés de Corona stands the well known as Pou des Plà de Corona, one of the best-preserved wells on the island.
It isn’t signposted, so it’s easy to drive straight past. If you’re coming from Santa Agnés, look out for the first sharp bend to the left, about seven hundred metres from the church, on the track known as Sa Corona.
What the Pou des Plà de Corona is like
It’s an unusual well. Its shape is more reminiscent of the small farmhouse buildings, now turned into chapels, than of a typical Ibizan well. The very low opening for drawing water is also unusual and must have been rather awkward to use, although it seems a good way to stop objects and soil from falling inside. Outside, two old water troughs recall the original purpose of the Pou des Plà de Corona.
