Two large doors facing each other, made of wood and framed with beautiful Arabic engravings, represent a small square room with missing walls, a somewhat curious work of art found walking between the beaches of Cala Codolar and Cala Llentia. This monument is known as Las Puertas de Can Soleil because it is located on the property of Guy Laliberté, known for being the founder of Cirque du Soleil.
The Doors of Can Soleil show different engravings and Arab motifs among which is a jamsa, also known as the hand of Fatima. It is a common element in Muslim and Sephardic Jewish cultures. As an amulet, the hand of Fatima was used by the Carthaginians from 820 B.C. and in North Africa, it was associated with an attribute of the goddess Tanit, the Goddess of Ibiza.
The space that can be accessed is limited only by a low stone wall, built on a mosaic floor of sand, stones, and tiles.
Don´t forget to stop by, the view from the gates of the Mediterranean Sea is nothing short of breathtaking.
