Architecture Meets Spirituality at Church of Sant Bartomeu
Constructed between 1688 and 1723, Church of Sant Bartomeu underwent significant renovation in 1904 by Joan Rubió, a disciple of Antoni Gaudí. This Catholic church showcases a unique modernist facade that captivates visitors while preserving its baroque elements and Gothic details.
The church features a sombre interior with bright side chapels and an elaborate altarpiece, highlighting its cultural and spiritual significance. A small oil copy of The Last Supper adds to the artistic richness, while the view towards the altar reveals a striking chandelier, an organ, and a luminous rose window. Its distinctive silhouette, reminiscent of a candelabra, is a notable part of the Sóller skyline against the Serra de Tramuntana mountains.
