What travellers are saying
- Jasmine38Chichester UKChichester, UK1,983 contributionsThe Palace provides an interesting insight into the history of Majorca. It's bigger than I anticipated with a good number of rooms open to the public. Explanatory text is available in each room. You can get an audio guide for more detailed info but I though that was a bit pricey at 5 euro on top of the 8 euro entry fee. Anyways the room text was sufficient for me. Given rhe age and history there is very little in the way of period furnishings but there are quite a few paintings and tapestries and some of ceilings have been restored. There are nice views across the water. I enjoyed my visit and was glad I made the time in my itinerary.Written 29 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- PoopyscoopBrighton, UK1,307 contributionsThis is a very small botanical garden and quite pricey for the size, but it is very pretty and has a magnificent entrance and rather lovely cafe bar to sit in.

It is located in the tourist area and you will probably walk past it, and you should stop and admire it, as I did. In terrific condition.Written 21 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- rikbrown73Sheffield, UK214 contributionsIf you are travelling the MA-10 and have about an hour spare this place is well worth a visit, the views over the Mediterranean from the gardens and balcony are well worth the 4 euro entrance fee and the short tour around the house is also goodWritten 13 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Meander500292477061 contributionI come to stay at lluc every year in July and I love it here. I find the ambiance peaceful and meditative. Great for walking in the mountains and swimming in the pool afterwards. I love both! Even came twice in pandemic time when visitors were few. The sacred heart missionaries of Mallorca who ran the church till 2020 have now decamped to Barcelona, and the church is now run by priests of the Palma diocese.Written 1 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Michael A1 contributionIt’s true, the views are amazing and well worth the effort. The stones were a bit slippy on the way down, but after 700 years what do you expect?

I'm sometimes tempted to skip introductory videos but in this case it is a must. Available in English as is explanatory text in each of the rooms and in the small exhibit.

- Thomas VOakland, CA18,456 contributionsThis is the big traditional bull fighting rink and all of the supporting stuff that goes with it. The structure is grand, very big, not especially pretty. Lots of food and drink in the Plaza. Some landscaping.Written 25 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- periandroLuxembourg City, Luxembourg10,853 contributionsThe convent of Sta. Clara is a cloistered nuns one. It was built in the thirteenth century on the remains of an arabic building during the reign of the king James I, so-called “the Conqueror”. Due to its stated nature of cloistered nuns convent just the church can be visited. Therefore the subject matter of this review can just be the church itself. It's a pity that the rest of the convent may not be seen since apparently some of its parts are marvellous, such as several gothic tombs where some abbesses are buried.
In order to get into the church one must first enter a small square through a splendid portal on the top of which there is a picture showing the image of the saint under a tile curved roof crowned by a stone cross. Once in the square it's noticeable that one of its most outstanding features is the peacefulness which can be felt there. It's a nice square, the church being on the opposite side of the stated portal. The convent finds itself on the right hand side of the entrance to the square and on the opposite side there are private dwelling-houses whose occupants must feel in heaven as they have the luck to live in such a peaceful atmosphere.
The church is an attractive building despite the soberness of its façade. The latter is in late renaissance style and the sculptures and carvings framing the church entrance door are practically the sole architectural ornaments existing on there. They are beautiful. A window above the door itself and a shelter over that window as well as some artistically ornamented openings on the top under the roof are also attractive elements. The bell tower is a rather peculiar element of the church outer part. It's square shaped and located at the front part of the building with a view to the little square. It's concretely on the left side corner of the said building part as one looks at the façade from the square, as a prolongation of the main building so that the relevant edge is common to both the tower and the rest of the edifice. There is a square terrace, larger that the tower itself, in the middle of which the belfry stands. The terrace is surrounded by a nice balustrade.
Inside the building, the architectural style is not apparently clearly defined. It's a single nave church in which one may observe that most of its vault is of a barrel type with the exception of a small section which has a groined vaulted ceiling thus reflecting light beautifully while adding depth and movement to the space. Besides, the arches between the nave and the side chapels are semicircular, which, as known, is a typical feature of romanesque style. The interior is in general rather austere. Notwithstanding that, there are some beautiful elements such as the gilded high altarpiece and the Crucifixion side chapel. In the former one can see an image of the saint to whom the church is dedicated in a niche flanked outside it by four saints, two on each side of the niche. Above the latter, in another segment of the altarpiece, there is a smaller niche containing an image of the Virgin flanked by statues portraying St. Francis and another saint. All those figures form a marvellous ensemble located at the back of the fantastic apse with plateresque style walls. There is a nice mural painting depicting the Assumption of the Virgin on the wall below the organ platform balustrade, and other paintings hanging on walls among which that showing the Adoration of the Shepherds is outstanding.
It's by and large an interesting church worth being visited mainly to have the possibility to feel the peaceful atmosphere both inside and outside the building. That atmosphere may pervade the heart of anyone being there thus being able to make him have a sentiment of relaxation and, should the occasion arise, of recollection.Written 7 June 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We chose a junior suite with a terrace and when we opened the door to our room and opened the doors and window the view took our breath away. The rooms are very spacious, tastefully furnished with modern facilities and an extremely comfortable bed .
The silence and peacefulness of the place is wonderful and the sunset espectacular.
In the morning you are awoken with the bells from the sheep and goats and the breakfast is extremely good with plenty to choose from . We will definitely go back to this very special place .Written 27 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MarcusHurleyCalne, UK10,818 contributionsAfter visiting the monastery itself we then wandered across to the Palace of King Sancho, included in the price, and listened to part of a Chopin recital whilst walking through the furnished rooms and reading about some of the residents. This was far more interesting and there was a lot more to see than in the monastery itself.Written 11 September 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Aqua_UomoToronto, Canada8,155 contributionsThere are mixed reviews in here, I hope I will sort it out. Some are for the pub and some for the buildings. There is a pub at the street level with a sidewalk patio and a contemporary, modern art gallery in the building and upstairs.
On February 22, I got in checking the building, it was hosting, still is, contemporary short films/art gallery.
This museum/gallery IS NOT for everybody, it should be rated. I can understand art but this is too descriptive, graphic and vivid for my taste, to call it the least. I don’t want to write words that might be censored and my review deleted. If you travel with kids, be aware, this is not the place for them.Written 8 March 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
