Basilica of Saint Michael (Basílica de Sant Miquel), Palma de Mallorca

Highlight • Religious Site

The Basilica of St. Michael (Spanish Basílica de San Miguel) is a church in the old town of Palma on Mallorca, Spain. The church, in the Diocese of Mallorca, is dedicated to the Archangel Michael and holds the title of a minor basilica.

San Miquel was built after the Reconquista from 1229 onwards. The church is said to stand on the site of the great mosque of Madina Mayurqa, but no traces of it remain.
In 1390, a larger new building was constructed in the Gothic style. What remains of it is the facade with the image of the Archangel Michael and the bell tower on its square base.
From 1632, the church was enlarged again and redesigned in the Baroque style.
In 2018, the church was elevated to the rank of a minor basilica by Pope Francis.

The single-nave church with its side chapels has a Gothic portal, begun in 1398 by the sculptor Pere de Sant Joan, with the sculpture of Ramon Llull on the upper left being particularly striking. The tympanum depicts a Virgin with Child and two angels.
The Gothic bell tower is also preserved, crowned by a typical Mallorcan pyramid roof with a cross.

The vault of the choir features a striking painting by Jaume Morey.
The altarpiece of the high altar is by Francisco de Herrera, dominated by the figures of the three archangels. On the sides of the main altar are two large paintings by the artist Juan Muntaner Cladera.

The church also forms the sanctuary of Maria de la Salut, the patron saint of Palma revered by the Majorcans. In the third side chapel on the right is an image of the Mother of God with Child, which, according to tradition, was brought to Palma by James I, as is also depicted in a painting in the chapel.

Plaça de Cort and the Ancient Olive Tree, Palma Old Town

Highlight • Historical Site

Palma's old town is magnificent. Small, winding streets where you can experience both the old Palma and modern shops.

You should plan to spend at least a day there.

View of La Seu Cathedral from Parc de la Mar

Highlight • Viewpoint

The land in front of the fortress wall was artificially wrested from the sea. In the 60s and 70s, the Park de la Mar, the Park of the Sea, was created here. Parking spaces were originally planned here, due to the resistance of the population, among others. A. Miró was prevented from doing so.

After the weather forecast announced rain for the whole day in Mallorca, we decided today for a bit of culture in Palma. Fortunately, it only rained sporadically here. Since the holidays in Germany have now started and 4 huge cruise ships are docked here, it was unfortunately very, very crowded with tourists in the capital.
The € 12.50 parking fee …
