Description
Sant Andreu de Santanyí is a historic parish church in the heart of Santanyí, in the south-east of Mallorca.
Architecture & Character
This 18th-century building sits harmoniously within the townscape, dominating Santanyí's central square. Visitors consistently find the architecture striking, and the historical character of the building is palpable. The church serves as a calm counterpoint to the bustle of the market that fills the square in front of it.
The Organ — a Highlight
The standout feature of the interior is the church organ, widely described as impressive, monumental, and renowned far beyond the town. Organ concerts are held here, and the acoustics of the nave are particularly praised. The Orchestra of the Illes Balears has also performed within these walls.

The interior houses a number of religious figures crafted with careful attention to detail. Especially noteworthy is a life-size statue of Saint Dolores.
Location & Surroundings
The church stands at Plaça Major 31 in the centre of Santanyí. Cafés and restaurants line the square, making it a lovely spot to linger. A weekly market is held on the square on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
