One of the town’s most distinctive features is the 365-step stairway, one for each day of the year, which is flanked by cypress trees and 14 three-metre-high crosses. The steps lead up to a chapel on the top of the hill known as the Calvari which offers panoramic views over the town, surrounding countryside, valleys and the bay of Port de Pollença.
The Plaça Mayor (main square) is a natural focal point, with an excellent choice of restaurants and bars. The square is dominated by a large Baroque style church, Església de Nostra Senyora dels Àngels (Our Lady of the Angels), which dates back to the 13th century, at the time under the care of the Knights Templar order. But do also strike out into the lanes to discover the artistic tradition, other sights and genuine character of the town.
The town museum houses a contemporary art collection as well as archaeological pieces from the 17th century and funerary woodwork from the 4th century.
Just outside the town, the distinctive Puig de Maria (mountain) rises to 330 metres high. It can be climbed within an hour, and the reward is magnificent views from the summit, where there is a monastery and a bar.
