Time and Space – Atlas Obscura

Date:

Share:

On a cliff overlooking the Mediterranean, away from the hustle of Ibiza, there’s a distinctive ring of tall basalt pillars called Time and Space. It reminds visitors of England’s Stonehenge but was constructed in 2014 by Australian artist Andrew Rogers. Interestingly, it was commissioned by Guy Laliberté, founder of Cirque du Soleil.

There are 13 dark stone columns set in an oval shape, and the tallest one aligns with the sunset on the winter solstice.

The design follows the Fibonacci sequence, a pattern often seen in nature, hinting that there’s something bigger going on with this sculpture. The basalt stones were brought all the way from Turkey, over 2,400 miles (3,826 kilometers) away, and now they stand proudly against the sea and sky here. Just a short walk away, two free-standing doors frame views of Es Vedrà, making the whole place feel even more surreal.
