Sant Jordi Church, a fortified church
Sant Jordi Church is a favourite with many people for religious ceremonies

Sant Jordi Church stands right in the centre of the village of Sant Jordi. To get there, take the road that runs through the village, which used to be the route to the airport. If you are heading towards Ibiza Town, the church is at the first turning you can take on the left; about a hundred metres along you will see this old building.
Defying history
It is not entirely clear when it was built: there are records of a chapel here from the time of the Catalan conquest. Some authors date it to the 13th century, although the first written references are from 1577.
Because the salt flats were so close, enemy raids were frequent and, as you might expect, the church looks like a fortress, with thick walls topped with battlements. The current entrance replaced the original one, which was in one of the side chapels. These chapels date from the 18th century, although the church went on being altered during the following century until it took on its present appearance.
