This emblematic building is located in Sant Josep town centre. Its original structure was subjected to an ambitious renovation in order to accommodate several multipurpose spaces.

The hall is fully equipped with audio-visual resources to enable the projection of films – its free auteur film seasons are very popular – and the holding of concerts, plays and events of all kinds. Next to this, in an adjacent building, sharing a charming little square, is the Can Jeroni exhibition hall, a two-storey building for the display of small and large-format paintings, sculptures and photographs.

Can Curt Exhibition Hall

This hall is a modern facility attached to Can Curt, a historical building in the centre of the tiny village of Sant Agustí. The original house, with its typically Ibizan architecture, has a beautiful tower which, together with that of the neighbouring Can Berri and the church, forms the typical skyline of Sant Agustí. The Can Curt hall offers ample spaces in which exhibitions are held throughout the year, sharing open common areas with the main house. It is open from Thursday to Saturday from 6.30 pm to 9 pm and on Sundays from 11 am to 1 pm.

Sant Francesc Interpretation Centre

The salt flats of Ibiza represent a natural, cultural and economic heritage of enormous importance in the island’s history. In order to disseminate their natural and ethnographic values, the Sant Francesc Interpretation Centre, located in the old parish house of the Sant Francesc church, was opened in 2015. Distributed over two floors, the centre offers a varied range of content, from audio-visual material on the flora and fauna of the Ses Salines Natural Park to old tools used by the salt workers. It is open on Saturdays and Sundays from 10 am to 2 pm in winter and from Wednesday to Sunday from 10 am to 2 pm and from 6 pm to 9 pm in summer.

Ses Païsses de Cala d’Hort

The Can Sorà farmhouse, a beautiful example of Ibiza’s rural architecture, occupies a prominent place in the complex that makes up the Ses Païsses archaeological site, which in turn is made up of a Punic and Roman settlement and its respective neighbouring burial grounds. The house and the surrounding area are used as a centre for carrying out all kinds of educational tasks, especially workshops for schoolchildren. The house is linked to the Ibiza Ethnographic Museum and its opening hours depend on the previously scheduled activities.
