Recent discoveries on the island Ibiza lends the thought that this island was inhabited as far back as three thousand years. The discovery of crude tools and many other objects says that the island had people from as early as seven hundred bc and researchers believe that it may date back even further with more research. This has been the fate of this tiny island as the world has used it over and over but the island has remained largely off the map due to the size. The early part of the island history is all about church. All of the settlers would build churches in one form or another. These churches were not only used for worship but also for fortification. The island was the target of many pirates over the years and the churches served as safe havens for entire villages during an attack.
