Templar Cross

See More Of Mallorca In Pollensa
When you go to Majorca for your summer holiday it’s tempting to spend the whole fortnight on the beach near your hotel basking in the sun but if you do get tired of staring at the sun kissed bodies playing Frisbee or just lazing about on the sand then you may want to investigate some of the island’s history.
In Puerto Pollensa holidays are mainly spent by the sea, day s on the beaches and evenings eating at the best restaurants on the island, nights clubbing away but just a little inland is the old town of Pollensa itself, founded in the 13 th century but built mainly in the 17 th and 18 th centuries a little away from the sea to avoid the attentions of pirates and buccaneers. The streets are narrow meaning that there is always plenty of shade as you explore unti you get to the squares, the main one being the Plasa Major, this has many cafes and is dominated by the 13 th century church Our Lady Of The Angels, built by the Knights Templar. North of the square is the 365 step stairway which leads to the chapel known as Calvary. If you’re in town on Good Friday you can see the Easter ceremony where there is an enactment of the crucifixion, the Stations of the Cross and a silent torch lit parade, the only sound you will hear is the sombre beating of a solitary drum.
If you’re planning to stay in the area you can either go to one of the many well established hotels which are located by the port itself or, if you’re more inclined to villa holidays there are beautiful villas in Alcudia, the municipality in which Pollensa and Puerto Pollensa lie.
Pollensa, or Pollentia as it was known then was originally a Roman settlement and to the north or the town you can still visit the Roman bridge which traverses the torrents that form part of the Sant Jordi river
