Über diesen Ort
The Església de Santa Eulàlia is one of the oldest churches in Palma, founded in the thirteenth century, soon after the Christian conquest, and built in a soaring Catalan Gothic style with a notably tall, light-filled nave. It stands in a lively square at the very heart of the old town and has always been closely bound up with the history of the city: it was here, according to tradition, that King James the First attended a mass of thanksgiving after taking the island, and the church was long associated with the kings of Mallorca. Its tall bell tower is a landmark of the old town skyline, and its shadowy interior, with slender columns rising to a high vault and a richly gilded Baroque altarpiece, is a fine example of the island's Gothic churches. The square outside is a pleasant spot ringed with cafes.
