Castellitx

Religious | Algaida

In place of Castellitx was built one of the so-called repopulation churches, the first Christian temples that were built in the Mallorcan countryside after the Catalan conquest. In the bull of Pope Innocent IV of April 14, 1248 it is mentioned under the invocation of St. Peter and St. Paul. It seems that this small church acted as a parish of the scattered population of that area of the old district of Muntuy, as corroborated by the many roads that led. It was not until the beginning of the 15th century that the parish church in the town of Algaida was moved. Also until the 15th century the name Castellitx identified the current municipality of Algaida.
