Church of Saint Eulalia (Palma de Mallorca)

Church of Saint Eulalia (Palma de Mallorca)


The Church of St. Eulalia is a temple of special importance because it is dedicated to the honour of St. Eulalia of Barcelona, among the conquerors who came to the island from Catalonia.

Of enormous antiquity, this church has very interesting details such as the pronounced contrast of its side walls, of clear Gothic origin, and its main façade and bell tower, which are clearly neo-Gothic from the end of the 19th century—a result of the reforms carried out after the strong earthquake of 1851.

In its chapels, one can find clear examples of the eminently medieval Mallorcan style. Among them are the Salvatore Mundi panels made by Francesc Comes, as well as the altarpieces of St. Lucia, the Domination of the Virgin and St. Blaise.

Samples of the rich Spanish Baroque are also present in the spectacular altarpiece of St. Bartholomew, the figure of St. Eloy and the representation of The Pietà.

It is a temple of enormous size and maintained the status of largest existing parish in the city. It is also of enormous heritage and idiosyncratic importance, as the coronation of Jaime II of Mallorca was celebrated in this church.

In addition, the church is an ideal meeting point for tourists because it is surrounded by important institutional offices such as Palma City Hall, as well as restaurants and cafes where one can enjoy exquisite meals and refreshing drinks.

Due to its significant heritage value, the Church of St. Eulalia was declared an Asset of Cultural Interest in 1931.
