Church of Sant Bartomeu, Sóller

Very beautiful church in which several architectural styles are included from the 13th century.

The current Church of Sóller is an impressive building with an interesting history, both architecturally and culturally important. The founder of the first church in Sóller was the provost of Tarragona, Ferrer de Sant Martí. Over the years, the church has been remodeled and expanded several times after being damaged by looting and attacks. Today the church presents itself as an imposing building that captivates visitors with its fascinating history.

An original church was built under the patronage of Ferrer de Sant Martí, provost of the Catalan community of Tarragona and first bishop of Valencia. The man was one of the conquerors of Mallorca in 1229.

Later, in 1248, the then Pope Innocent IV designated both the Virgin Mary and the Apostle Bartholomew as the patron saints of the Sóller Church
