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.
