Basilica of Saint Michael (Basílica de Sant Miquel), Palma de Mallorca
Highlight • Religious Site
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.

Cathedral of Santa Maria of Palma (La Seu)
Highlight • Religious Site
On New Year's Eve 1229, Jaume I, King of Aragón, also known as the Conqueror, stormed the city of Palma after a three month siege.
As a sign of his victory, he laid the foundation stone of the Cathedral of St. Mary on the foundation walls of a mosque.
In truth, however, he was in a bit of a hurry to fulfill a promise that he had given the holy virgin. On his way across the sea his fleet got caught in a storm and he promised Mary that a church would be built if he survived the storm. “As a sign of my victory” sounds better than “I pissed my pants because of fear”.
The actual construction did not begin until around 70 years later under Jaume II, his son and lasted 300 years (until 1601). Over the centuries, the cathedral has been expanded again and again and only took on its present form around 100 years ago. Today it is only called "La Seu", Catalan for bishopric.
