MONUMENT TO THE CORSAIRS

This is the unique monument in the whole world that is dedicated to the corsairs. The corsairs were obviously pirates, but with the "letter of marque" which means that they were legals and authorised by the government. During the XVIII century they defended Ibiza and the inhabitants against undesirable invasions.
This monument is located at the Ibiza harbour and was design by the Architect Augusto Font.
The inauguration was in 1915.
