We were lucky that the church was open. Rarely have we seen such a great church. If possible, definitely see it.

The Parish Church of Sant Pere is considered one of the largest parish churches in Mallorca. The size and perfection of its construction testify to the importance of Petra in past times. It is the city's third parish church, whose construction began in 1582 and was completed in the 17th century. Although it was built during the Renaissance and Baroque periods, the church's architectural style follows the Gothic tradition, although there are some elements of later styles, such as the Baroque Rosary Chapel and the Renaissance portal of the sacristy. It has a basilica plan with a single nave divided into seven sections, covered with cross-ribbed vaults and side chapels. Its interior contains valuable works of art and religious furnishings, such as altarpieces of various styles, from 15th-century Gothic (such as the painting of the Santos Médicos in the chapel of the same name) to Neo-Gothic (early 20th century). Also noteworthy is the baptismal font, dating from 1588, in which the most famous petrero, Junípero Serra, was baptized (1713). The Chapel of Santa Aina also contains a portrait of the missionary and a relic. The temple has two entrances. The main façade is unfinished and features a large rose window at the top. On the side façade, built in 1911, is the image of the city's patron saint, Saint Praxedis, a work by Guillermo Galmés. The 31-meter-high hexagonal bell tower was built in 1669. The structure is characterized by its pointed windows and pyramidal top. The bells date from the 17th and 18th centuries.
