OF SANT FRANCESC HOTEL

0 0

THE CITY OF

PALMA OF MAJORCA

The hotel is in Palma’s old quarter. The current layout with its narrow streets dates from Arab times, the remains of a city that was once Muslim. With the arrival of King James I the Conqueror in 1229, swathes of land were surrendered to religious orders, such as the Franciscans.

PLAZA

SANT FRANCESC

The hotel’s current location formed part of the property of Santa Eulalia Church. Palma was divided into five parishes that held the judicial, financial and administrative power. The first stone of the magnificent Sant Francesc Church was laid in January 1281 by order of King James II.

FORMER OWNERS OF THE MANSION

The Alomar family owned the property from the beginning of the 19th century to the end of the 20th century. The last alteration took place in 1860. This wealthy family earned their money from large sugar-cane-crop areas on their Santa Isabel Plantation in Puerto Rico.
