Diocesan museum

The history of the Ibizan church, from the 13th century to the 20th

The Diocesan Museum in Eivissa Cathedral holds and exhibits multiple artistic and artisanal pieces relating to liturgy and the history of the Ibizan church, from the 13th century up to the 20th.

The museum has its beginnings in 1964, when the dean and the chapter organised the creation of a museum for the Cathedral, with paintings, sculptures, ornaments and other objects, in the vestry and the chapter hall. It opened to the public in 1965 and maintained its original structure until the end of the 1990s, when it underwent its first restructuring. The last restructuring, carried out in 2006, turned it into a contemporary space that is in contrast with the classicism found in the rest of the Cathedral. Its collection of rosaries and crosses made out of jewels typical to the island stands out.
