"The Baluard de Sant Jaume is one of seven massive bastions rising from the wall of Ibiza's Dalt Vila district. The impressive museum details the development of military technology in the region over the centuries and the fascinating displays bring visitors closer to the military history of the town and the island.

The weapons exhibition features bombs, pistols and swords and all exhibits are accompanied by information panels that clearly explain how the town walls were once defended. Exhibits cover a variety of topics, including the development of gunpowder and the changing faces of fortifications.

Questions from staff about the exhibits and examine historic lances and halberds. Children can also touch replicas of the weapons, try on armour and helmets and try to lift the cannonballs.

Walk around the terrace of the bastion, where cannons are pointed at the town. From the bastion you can enjoy stunning views of the old town and the dark green mountains in the background. Don't forget your binoculars and camera!

Open to the public from spring to autumn, the Bastion Museum opened in 2008 and is open Tuesday to Sunday from morning to afternoon. In winter it is only available for group visits, which must be booked in advance by phone or email.

The Baluard de Sant Jaume is located on the south-west corner of the walled old town of Dalt Vila in the centre of Ibiza Town. Come on foot or take the bus to one of the surrounding stops. Be sure to check out nearby attractions such as Capella de Sant Ciriac, Museu Puget and Plaza Reina Sofia."
