Santa Eulalia, Palma de Mallorca

Santa Eulalia is one of the oldest churches in Palma and was also the cathedral of the island for a long time. Unfortunately, the opening hours are not very generous, even as a child I only occasionally came into the church room. Since Santa Eulalia is wonderfully located, surrounded by beautiful bars and squares, cafés and confiseries, it is important to take the opportunity to visit the church as soon as it is available. For me it was the case about two weeks ago - and I immediately took the opportunity and streamed through the open church door. The space is impressive, breathes history and impressive spirituality. Information materials in several languages hang and lie out, but it was important to me to include the whole, very dense atmosphere in me. In addition to the high altar and the wonderful organ, I am particularly impressed by the rosettes and windows, generally the grandiose play with the light. But besides it, there are many gems in the various side chapels of the church, for whose appreciative perception a single visit is by no means sufficient. At the exit, the church tells of its history on first-ever plaques and asks for support for its maintenance, structural damage, even on the exterior facade, are unmistakable, yes, this venerable church needs support. In summary, I would like to encourage all visitors, lovers of the island and residents to seek the opportunity of visiting Santa Eulalia. It is very worthwhile and will be an unforgettable experience, because the local spirit of the church still has an active effect in one for a very long time.
