Though Pollenca is a small town, it is replete with historical monuments that highlight Mallorca's rich heritage. Our Lady of the Angels Parish Church (Parròquia de la Mare de Déu dels Àngels), with its lovely stained-glass windows, is a great example of this heritage. Built in the 13th century, it belonged to the Knights Templar and later, the Order of the Knights Hospitallers. Another interesting piece of history to visit is the Roman Bridge. No one is quite certain who built the bridge, but history states that the Romans occupied the island from 123BC until 425AD.

Pollensa has inspired a great number of artists for over a century, and it truly shows. From rare sand mandalas to South American art, you will find so much here to inspire you. The Casa Museu Dionís Bennassar is a great place to start. At the house of Dionís Bennassar, now a museum, you will find a vast collection of the artist's works as well as his personal effects. Visits are by appointment only.

Climbing 365 steps to the top of Calavari Hill is definitely one of the must-do activities while in Pollensa. One local tip is to start your hike from Carrer de les Creus (the Road of the Cross) and then descend using the famous stairs to get spectacular views of mountains, sea and town from both ends.

Inaugurated in 1975, this museum was intended to house the winning works from the summer art competition. Now it celebrates the works of Anglada Camarasa, Bellini, López Nagil, Montenegro, Atilio Beveri, contemporary artists and much more! Museu de Pollensa is also the proud home of one of the 5 sand Buddhist mandalas in the world, which are usually destroyed after creation.

Quaintly beautiful, the Joan March Gardens and Desbrull Tower are another major attraction of Pollensa. The showstoppers here are the indigenous plants of Mallorca which include citrus, wild olive trees, cypresses and the palm tree of Mallorca. You will find these botanical gardens towards the entrance to the Pollensa Museum.

If you are in Pollensa during the summer, then you can take advantage of the opportunity to attend two significant festivals. La Patrona is the biggest festival. Held from the end of July to the beginning of August, this event honours Mare de Déu dels Àngels through entertainment, decorations, markets and more! The Pollensa Classical Music Festival is also held around the same time.

The town of Pollensa is just 8 km from Port de Pollença which became a popular beach destination in the 20th century. Cala Sant Vicenç, just 5 km from the Port de Pollensa, should also be included in your itinerary for the awe-inspiring views, pristine beaches and the prehistoric Alzineret caves.

When visiting Pollensa you must pay homage to Plaça Major located in the heart of the town in front of Our Lady of the Angels Church. This is where locals and tourists mingle, and also where you'll find restaurants, cafés, festivals and the weekly market held on Sundays.

A visit to the Cap de Formentor is one of Mallorca's main attractions and could be the highlight of your trip. Located 20 km from Pollensa, you'll find a breathtakingly azure coastline contrasted against jagged cliffs and the iconic lighthouse.
