Description

Sant Vicenç Ferrer de Manacor is a historic Dominican church and convent complex dating from the late 16th and early 17th centuries, set in the heart of Manacor's old town.

Architecture and Bell Tower

The convent was built by monks of the Dominican Order towards the end of the 16th century and into the early 17th. Its most striking feature is the bell tower, topped with a distinctive pyramidal crown that can be spotted from numerous points across the town. The façade has the understated character typical of Dominican architecture, while the interior retains large-format paintings in their unrestored state — including notably dark canvases that have kept their original condition. A marble floor is among the more recent additions to the church interior.

Cloister, Chapel and Museum

The centrepiece of the complex is the two-storey cloister, framed by arches and fruit trees, and valued for its remarkable atmosphere — even in the height of summer it offers cool shade. The upper floor is not always accessible. The cloister plays host to musical events and live performances, and its acoustics are considered exceptional. The complex also houses the Capella de les Roses and the Museu d'Història de Manacor.

Library and Present-Day Use

The convent buildings are now home to the town's public library as well as offices of the local council. The library is connected to the cloister and can be reached directly from it.

Location and Surroundings

The complex sits on the Plaça del Convent in the historic centre of Manacor, within a pedestrianised area that is easy to explore on foot. The town's courthouse is located nearby.
