Essential places to see in Sant Antoni
- Visiting the Far de ses Coves Blanques is one of the most authentic things to see in Sant Antoni. We are talking about a lighthouse that ceased to function in 1963 and is currently used as an exhibition hall.
- See the Cova de Ses Fontanelles cave. It is also known as the wine cave and cave paintings have been found here. It is well worth the journey to reach it as it offers impressive views of the bay of San Antonio, as well as of the eleven islets of Poniente.
- The church of San Antonio is not a conventional church, as it preserves the Ibizan architectural aesthetics as well as maintaining the original structure of a temple-fortress built in 1385 to prevent attacks by pirates.
