Description

The Plaça de Lluc is the central square of the Lluc monastery complex — also known as the Plaça dels Peregrins — and the historic heart of the monastery nestled in the Tramuntana mountains.

A Pilgrim Square Steeped in History

The Plaça de Lluc has been welcoming pilgrims and visitors for centuries. The standout feature is a historic well dating from 1589, which once served as a watering trough for the pack animals that arrived here after long journeys. The outdoor areas of the monastery complex are well maintained and kept clean throughout.

What to Expect Within the Complex

From the square, you can explore the entire monastery complex at your own pace. If you fancy stretching your legs, there's a walk up the hill to a cross that's well worth the effort. The complex also includes an arboretum. A museum is on site, though some visitors find it less rewarding than the rest of the complex.

Set in the Heart of the Tramuntana Mountains

The square sits in Lluc (07315), right in the heart of the Serra de Tramuntana. It's the first point of arrival when you enter the monastery complex and is easily reached directly from the complex's car park.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the historic well on the Plaça de Lluc really that old?
It is — the well dates from 1589 and was originally used as a watering trough for the pack animals brought by arriving pilgrims.
Is the museum in the monastery complex worth visiting?
The museum is part of the complex, though not every visitor considers it the highlight. If you do buy a museum ticket, the parking fee is offset against the cost.
Are there any walking opportunities nearby?
Yes — from the monastery complex, a short walk leads up the hill to a cross, which is considered well worth the trip.
