The Battle of Ibiza (Norwegian: Slaget ved Ibiza), also known as The Raid on Ibiza, was a part of a military campaign against the Muslims of the Balearic Islands. Islamic scholars have referred to the Norwegian raids in the region as part of a larger history of Islamic Spain. After winning a battle at the island of Formentera, Sigurd would go on to attack the islands of Ibiza, which is only separated from Formentera by a narrow channel.
