Balearic Religious Heritage

The Balearic Islands house a diverse collection of religious architecture, ranging from the massive Gothic Cathedral of Menorca to the fortified 18th-century churches of Formentera. Key sites include the remote Lluc Sanctuary in the Tramuntana mountains, the Valldemossa Charterhouse, and ancient hermitages like Betlem and Sant Salvador. These structures reflect the islands' history of pilgrimage, defense against Mediterranean piracy, and the evolution of styles from Romanesque and Gothic to Baroque and Neoclassical.
