Historic Churches

Majorca’s religious landscape is defined by centuries of architectural evolution, starting with the 13th-century Reconquista. This collection features the iconic Palma Cathedral, known for its massive rose window and Gaudí-designed interior, alongside remote mountain sanctuaries like Lluc and Cura. Visitors can explore Gothic masterpieces commissioned by James II, fortified Templar chapels, and the ruins of Cistercian monasteries. From the Baroque altarpieces of Sant Bartomeu to the hilltop pilgrimage site of Sant Salvador, these landmarks represent the island's deep spiritual and historical roots.
