Església de Nostra Senyora Verge dels Dolors CHURCH
MAP GOOGLE MAP
(Plaça del General Weyler; 8.30am-12.45pm & 5.30-8pm) The massive Església de
Nostra Senyora Verge dels Dolors lords it impressively over the Manacor skyline. It was
raised on the site of the town's former mosque and has a hybrid Gothic/neo-Gothic style,
which reflects the fact that construction began in the 14th century and wasn't completed
until the 19th century.

(Plaça del General Weyler) A short distance north of the main church, in the courtyard of an
apartment block, is the dishevelled Torre del Palau, all that remains of a royal residence
that Jaume II began in the late 13th century.
