Description
Sa Capelleta, Santa María de l'Olivar is a small chapel tucked away in a remote mountain setting near Sóller, Mallorca.
Architecture & Interior
Built entirely from stone, the chapel stands out for its unusual style, reminiscent of Modernisme — both inside and out. The interior features stalactite-like structures that can be glimpsed through the wrought-iron gate of the main door or a small viewing slot. The chapel sits behind a low stone wall topped with decorative points and is accessed through two gates.
Location & Getting There
Sa Capelleta is located in Disseminat Sector Nº4, 583, in the municipality of Sóller. The GR221 long-distance trail passes directly by the chapel, making it easy to reach on foot from Sóller town centre. Parking nearby is very limited, so it's worth bearing that in mind if you're arriving by car. The site is barely visible from the road.
Atmosphere & Views
Its secluded position away from busy tourist routes keeps things peaceful and uncrowded. From the grounds, there are sweeping views across the Sóller valley and the surrounding Tramuntana mountain ranges — and those views are yours to enjoy even when the chapel itself is closed.
Visiting & Things to Know
A sign on site indicates that the chapel is closed on Mondays. Accessibility has occasionally been affected by building works or other circumstances, so a quick check beforehand is a good idea. If you're arriving on foot, the GR221 route winds through beautiful Mediterranean vegetation all the way to the door.
