History of Santa Agnès de Corona
Santa Agnès de Corona — often called simply Corona — is a parish and dispersed settlement within the municipality of Sant Antoni de Portmany, on the island of Ibiza. It sits on the Pla de Corona, in the protected inland upland area known as es Amunts. Unlike most villages, it never developed a central nucleus; the people here, known as coroners, have always lived in scattered farmhouses across the plain, and most still do today.
Heritage & Monuments
The Pla de Corona's deep red soil is unusually fertile, and the land is covered with almond trees in exceptional numbers. In January and February these trees come into blossom, and the tradition among locals is to walk among them on full-moon nights during those months. More than almost anywhere else on the island, the landscape of Santa Agnès de Corona preserves the look and feel of traditional rural Ibiza as it has been for generations.
