History and Culture in Pollensa
The town has several places of interest to visit, including the Roman bridge, which is still in use. The bridge has been crucial for Pollensa inhabitants, because until the nineteenth Century it was the only safe way to cross the Torrente de Sant Jordi during high water. Outside the town is the Santuari del Puig de Maria, a modest 330m high mountain. At the top of the mountain sits the traditional sandstone built monastery and chapel. The chapel was constructed in 1348 with a monastery added 14 years later. The monastery still retains traditional decor with tiled floors and small windows, along with a magnificent dining room.
