Stonehenge

TIME : 2016/2/19 1:20:13

Ibiza’s most contemporary attraction is a stunning monument that locals have called ‘Stonehenge’. A semicircle of 13 basalt columns, it were created by Australian artist Andrew Rodgers and commissioned by Cirque du Soleil founder Guy Laliberté. One of the columns is 20m high with a gilded top. Stonehenge is on a rocky coastal shelf, a 10-minute walk south of Cala Codolar. It's a perfect sunset spot, away from the crowds.

Approaching the site on foot you pass through a pair of ancient wooden doors, also erected by the artist. One of the doors is inlaid with inscriptions in Arabic, and together the pair frame the nearby island of Es Vedrà perfectly.
