Tips

March 19, 2025

The convent of Santa María Magdalena was originally a hospital, documented as early as the early 12th century. King Peter IV arranged for the relocation of some nuns from the Barcelona monastery to Mallorca, and they settled in Santa Magdalena. The building's medieval heritage consists of three unique works of Gothic art that testify to the community's rise from the second half of the 14th century onwards.

The oldest and most important work is the altarpiece of Saint Magdalene, to whom the Gothic church is dedicated: the central panel, featuring a freestanding sculpture of the saint, is by Francesc Comes. The side panels were created by the so-called Maestro del Obispo Galiana, and the upper central section is by Joan Daurer. All of them are famous 14th-century Gothic painters from Mallorca.

This monastery is undoubtedly worth a visit for the sweets that are made and sold there: Santa Magdalena pastries, pretzels, filled pastries, coconut and cinnamon pastries and, at Christmas time, the so-called nevaditos (cookies dusted with icing sugar).
