Visit the local shrines in Mallorca and travel back in time a little. In this category, you will read about the history of these places and find out how it has influenced the island’s status today. We realise that sanctuaries are not the most common choice when visiting. Tourists often prefer to see castles, ruins or beautiful viewpoints. So why a separate category for sanctuaries? It’s all because there are quite a few of them on Mallorca, and on top of that, we believe they are an important point on the map. Not only for cultural, traditional and historical reasons. Many people may find the sanctuaries on Mallorca to their liking, because of the stunning views. Sanctuaries, like castles, were built in strategic locations. However, sanctuaries were also often built on hills, mountain tops or in ravines. What we like most is definitely the gardens, the architecture, the surroundings of the sites visited. And we realise that most tourists also base their tour on this.
