Brief Description
"Ibiza provides an excellent example of the interaction between the marine and coastal ecosystems. The dense prairies of oceanic Posidonia (seagrass), an important endemic species found only in the Mediterranean basin, contain and support a diversity of marine life. Ibiza preserves considerable evidence of its long history. The archaeological sites at Sa Caleta (settlement) and Puig des Molins (necropolis) testify to the important role played by the island in the Mediterranean economy in protohistory, particularly during the Phoenician-Carthaginian period. The fortified Upper Town (Alta Vila) is an outstanding example of Renaissance military architecture; it had a profound influence on the development of fortifications in the Spanish settlements of the New World."
伊维萨岛的生物多样性和特有文化
"伊维萨岛的生物多样性和特有文化提供了一个海洋生态系统和沿海生态系统之间相互作用的极好范例。伊维萨岛边地中海盆地所特 有的波西多尼亚海草生长茂盛，蕴含和支撑着海洋生物的多样性。另外，伊维萨岛的历史遗迹保存完好。萨·卡莱塔聚居地考古遗址和普伊格·德斯·墨林斯墓地遗 址证实了一点：在史前，特别是腓尼基-迦太基时期，伊维萨岛对于地中海经济发展起到了非常重要的作用。坚固的高城要塞是文艺复兴时期军事建筑的杰出范例， 对于西班牙殖民者在新大陆的防御性建筑发展具有极其深远的影响。"
