Description

The Iglesia de San Felipe Neri is a Baroque church in the old town of Palma, belonging to the Congregación del Oratorio de San Felipe Neri.

Baroque splendour, chapels and a small museum

The Baroque building impresses inside with richly decorated altars and carefully maintained ornamentation. Alongside the main nave, the building houses a number of chapels as well as a small museum of sacred art and artefacts relating to the church's history. The altars are explained in Spanish, English and German, and a companion booklet in all three languages is available to visitors.

Concerts in remarkable acoustics

The church is a sought-after performance venue: the acoustics of the space are considered outstanding and have proved a wonderful setting for classical vocal concerts — including performances featuring soprano, baritone, tenor and piano, as well as Gregorian chant.

Tucked away in the old town's lanes

The church stands at Carrer de Sant Felip Neri 1 in Palma's Centre quarter. Wandering through the narrow streets of the old town, you're likely to stumble upon it almost by chance — well away from the main tourist crowds, which only adds to the quietly contemplative atmosphere of the place.
