Santa Eulàlia church

Religious | Palma de Mallorca

This Catholic temple, considered an Asset of Cultural Interest since 1931, is named after the patron saint of Barcelona, highly revered by the Christian conquerors from Catalonia. The parish church of Sant Eulalia is located a stone's throw from the emblematic Plaza de Cort, where the imposing Palma City Hall building is located. From the outside, the side walls of the Gothic temple contrast with the main facade and the bell tower, remodeled in neo-Gothic style between 1894 and 1903, due to the earthquake that occurred in Mallorca in 1851. In the chapels of this parish there are examples of the medieval Mallorcan style, such as the tables of Salvatore Mundi (Francesc Comes), the Dormition of the Virgin and the altarpieces of Santa Lucia, Santa Barbara and San Blas. There are also numerous examples of baroque as the altarpiece of St. Bartholomew and the Pietà, as well as St. Eloy. The monumentality of this temple is due to the fact that in the 13th century it was the largest parish church in Palma. In addition, this church has historical relevance, since it was crowned as king of Mallorca Jaime II.
