Santa Agnès de Corona is a small village inland of the north central seaboard of the Spanish island of Ibiza.[1] The village is in the municipality of Sant Antoni de Portmany and is located designated road PMV 812.[2] The village is 12miles northwest of Ibiza Town, and 5.9km (03.7miles) to the northwest of the coastal town of Sant Antoni de Portmany.[3]
The village is surrounded by gentle rolling countryside, and this region is full of orange, lemon and almond trees.[3] The blossom season in January and February is spectacular and has given the area the status of a protected area of special interest.[3] The village comprises a church, a supermarket, a few bars and a few surrounding houses and villas. There are one or two examples left of traditional rural house architecture.
The parish church was built in 1812.[4] The church is dedicated to the chaste and virtuous Saint Agnes.[4] The main facade faces on to a small village square is very plain and has an uneven roofline. The elevation has an arched doorway and one round window. There is a porch to the side of the building. The church was built as part of religious reforms made on the island by Bishop Abad y Lasierra,[4] the first Bishop of Ibiza. Inside there is a low vaulted nave.[4] Also of interest, there is a sculpture of Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary which dates to 1812, the same as the church, the sculptor’s name is unknown.
