Description
The Convent de Santa Magdalena is a monastery with a church in the heart of Palma, best known for the relics of Mallorca's first saint and the nuns' convent shop.
Gothic, Baroque and a remarkable heritage
The convent church was built in the Gothic style, while its outer façade displays Baroque detailing. Its origins stretch back to the early 14th century. Inside, you'll find the chapel housing the tomb of Saint Catalina Thomàs — Mallorca's first saint — whose relics rest in a glass and silver casket. For many visitors, this is the true heart of any visit.
Stillness in the middle of the city
The convent is a place of quiet and spirituality, something felt especially during Mass, when the nuns' singing fills the space. The monastery itself is not open to visitors; what you can explore is the church and the convent shop.
The convent shop: homemade sweets
The convent shop deserves a chapter of its own. Here the nuns sell sweets and baked goods they make themselves, including Magdalenas, Trufas, and biscuits such as Crespells and Robiols, alongside a range of other treats. The sisters are known for being exceptionally warm and welcoming.
Location & getting there
The Convent de Santa Magdalena is located at Carrer de Santa Magdalena 4 in the Centre neighbourhood of Palma. There is no parking available in the immediate vicinity.
