Did you know?
In the Muslim era, the area was called Xarc, which means east.
The village was founded around the church at the top of the puig de Missa or the hill of Missa. The new church and the annexed tower from which the whole region could be defended with artillery, dates back to the 16th century. Together with Dalt Vila and the Church of Sant Miquel, the Church of Santa Eulalia was built on the hill strategically to detect and prevent pirate attacks. It is said that the pirates who arrived from the east came from Algeria, as the coast of Santa Eulalia is on a straight line with the coast of Algeria, which is next to the coast of Tunisia.
