Monument als Corsaris

Ibiza Town


Halfway along the Passeig Marítim, this century-old stone obelisk is a monument to Ibiza's corsairs – privateers licensed by the Spanish crown to combat the threat of north-African raiders, as well as the British and the French. The monument faces a small square, Plaça d'Antoni Riquer, named after the legendary Ibizan corsair who in 1806 captured the major British ship, Felicity.
