Located very near the city of Eivissa, this town has one of the oldest churches in the island. It is said that Franciscan Monks established themselves in this church in the year 1498, although in 1580 it was given to the Dominicans, who abandoned it seven years later to hide in Dalt Vila's fortification because of the pirates attacks. The church has a very valuable piece: a XVI century Gothic altar ascribed to Rodrigo de Osuna. Some experts consider the face of this church's Virgin as one of the most beautiful ones in the Spanish medieval iconography.
Jesús also offers a wide range of restaurants and small shops. The visitor can find several beaches in the vicinity, such as s'Estanyol and Talamanca, although the latter belongs to the Municipality of Eivissa.
