pollenca, via crucis
DESCRIPTION
Pollenca at the Northern tip of Mallorca's Tramuntana mountains is a special location. Pollenca has rather a few spectacular churches, 3 in all including Nostra Senyora dels Angels, Nostra Senyora del Roser and the 16th century baroque Convent de sant Domingo. Pollença's pride and joy is, however, its Via Crucis (Way of the Cross), a long, steep and beautiful stone stairway, graced by ancient cypress trees, which ascends El Calvari (Calvary hill) directly north of the principal square. At the top, a much-revered statue of Mare de Déu del Peu de la Creu (Mother of God at the Foot of the Cross) is lodged in a simple, courtyarded Oratori (chapel), whose whitewashed walls sport some of the worst religious paintings imaginable. You've a bit of a climb to reach it, 365 steps in total, passing various Stations of the Cross.However, the views out over coast and town are sumptuous.TRANSCRIPT
