Історія
The area has been settled since the Bronze Age, and the Romans built a bridge and a nearby town, Pollentia, at Alcúdia. In 1550 pirates attacked Pollença, and the Moors and Christians festival commemorates the defence of the town against them.
In the 19th and 20th centuries artists and writers visited the area, and it became a retreat for painters and travellers. The Calvari steps were built in the 18th century.
