Pollensa is renowned for its charming mix of Gothic, Baroque, and traditional Mallorcan architecture. One of the most iconic structures is the 18th-century El Calvari Chapel, perched atop a hill and accessed by a steep staircase with 365 steps, symbolizing the days of the year. The climb is worth it, as visitors are rewarded with breathtaking views of the town and countryside.
The Convent of Santo Domingo, a former Dominican convent, is another architectural gem. Its cloister serves as the main venue for Pollensa’s famous classical music festival, and its serene beauty makes it a must-visit for culture lovers. Pollensa is also home to the Roman bridge, Pont Romà, a well-preserved relic of the town’s Roman past that still spans the local stream.
For nature lovers, the nearby Formentor Peninsula offers dramatic cliffs and secluded coves, while Pollensa’s coastline features tranquil beaches like Cala Boquer and Cala Sant Vicenç. The town’s proximity to the Tramuntana Mountains makes it an excellent base for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts who want to explore this UNESCO World Heritage site.
