The town of Pollenca was founded
in 1229 with the catalan conquest of Mallorca, although
the name comes from many years ago. |
Under the islamic domitation it was known as Al- Bulansa
and by the Romans as Pollentia, although the roman coty
of Pollentis is nowadays located in Alcudia. Placed in a
valley enclosed by the Puig de Maria and the Calgary, Pollenca
is the main area in the municipality with more than 8.000
inhabitants.
It has a historical old part already formed in the XVIIIth
century with a group of narrow streets and with emblematic
buildings as the Calgary, the Parish church, Santo Domingos
Cloister and the Jesuis School. These are some of the interesting
places to visit.
