What travellers are saying
- Thomas VOakland, CA17,790 contributionsOriginally built as a merchants' exchange, this very old gothic building now houses exhibits. 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.
- Lisa DLeicester, UK74 contributionsWould definitely recommend a visit. The house tour is a must see with artworks, sculptures and interesting finds. There's works by Picasso, Yoko Ono, Yayoi Kusama, Rembrandt and pieces from Yves Saint Laurent.
We were also lucky enough to see Ben (owner and artist) in the hallway.
The rich collection of objects are truly inspiring.
Outside the sculpture park is quirky, eccentric and fascinating. The two underground galleries are interesting but you have to pay an additional fee to enter. There should be one full ticket covering all areas to visit and maybe separate tickets for the house tour and then the garden/underground galleries.
Either way I'd recommend a fully immersive visit.
Beware...take a picnic...DO NOT try the restaurant. The waiters are rude at best. They ignore you for as long as possible...we left because they, there were 2 of them, walked in and out of the kitchen passing us a number of times with an air of superiority...quite unnecessary and really lets down an otherwise friendly and calm place. We had tried to eat there on our visit last year but the same thing happened...this time we decided to give them another opportunity but nothing has changed. The food offering would complete the package here and make your visit truly memorable. They are missing a trick. Such a shame.Written 1 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

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.

- Matthew PLondon, UK6,288 contributionsThe out side looks better than the inside, it is 2 euros to enter and a further one for the museum inside. Nicely laid out some nice statues. Worth a walk around if you are there.Written 25 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Thomas VOakland, CA17,790 contributionsThis is a covered food market with lots of delicious food products to sell. It is located outside the old center, so a bit of a walk for those of us off of a cruise ship. And it has generated a lot of restaurants that rely on the produce inside for their kitches. You will find the restaurants outside the market. We did not have a kitchen that we needed to stock, but we bought a few tasty snacks. On the day we visited, there were a lot of shoppers - we went in the morning. Very lively and fun.Written 2 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Thomas VOakland, CA17,790 contributionsThis beautiful and ornate building started as a luxury hotel, but now houses an art gallery. We were very impressed with the Modernista style architecture. Buildings are a little close together here so it is hard to get a good photo. We tried.Written 28 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Bob CDorset, UK85 contributionsBeautiful setting beautiful house and such views, well worth a few hours of your time.

- Thomas VOakland, CA17,790 contributionsI was so happy to. find this famous building, unusual for its undulating style. It is the same modernista style that one finds all over Barcelona and is utterly delightful. Worth going out of your way to find and photo.Written 23 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- periandroLuxembourg City, Luxembourg10,540 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.

- Marlene E12 contributionsThe sanctuary is near Randa on top of the mountain it is extremely unspoiled and has a friendly laidback atmosphere. 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.

- Thomas VOakland, CA17,790 contributionsThis is another Modernista masterpiece, a fabulous building resting on a very narrow street. Stop for a few minutes on your long walk, strain your neck to see the top of the gorgeous building and try to get perspectives from different angles. It is worth the effort.Written 26 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Thomas VOakland, CA17,790 contributionsIt's the turtle fountain! And who doesn't love turtles? Or fountains? So it combines some of the best in the world. And it is located in the center in a square and water in this very hot city helps.

- Thomas VOakland, CA17,790 contributionsCurrently housing the regional government, this attractive buildlng is notable forthe big arches on the floor above the ground level. And it faces the sea, so lots of sun and a great perspective for picture taking. It was one of the stops of our walking tour of the center.Written 30 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
