Rural homes consisted of independent units with very thick walls which was one of the best methods of achieving heat insulation. They always faced south, protected from the Tramontana winds. And they bear an amazing resemblance to some of the Syrian bit-hilani houses.

A characteristic feature of Ibizan architecture is its churches. Jesus Church, the oldest of all, has an interesting Gothic altarpiece from the 15th Century. San Jorge Church is very similar to buildings on Djerba Island (Tunisia), from the 15th Century. The parish church of Santa Eulalia was built on a 14th Century chapel. San Carlos Church dates back to 1785. San Lorenzo church was built more compactly, because the atrium has just one entrance arch, from the 18th Century. The most fascinating of all is Santa Inés Church, from the 19th Century. Local people could not agree where to site it, and when it was almost finished, they almost came to the point of knocking it down. The rectifications can be seen in its gradual building, with added parts.
