Pollensa Old Town

Only a few kilometers from Port de Pollensa lies Pollensa, an ancient town in the north of the island with charming tiny streets and a large main square surrounded by cafés, restaurants, and bars. Pollensa Old Town is one of the most beautiful historical sites in Majorca. The town has evidence of a lengthy history due to its several conquests over the years. Pollensa has been a popular destination for upscale travelers ever since a colony of artists, writers, and musicians moved there in the early 20th century after discovering the area's inspirational beauty.

The Talaiots, who came to this area more than 3,000 years ago, are the people who left the earliest traces on the surrounding terrain. On the boundaries of the little town, which currently has around 16,000 residents, are the best-known ones, which the Romans left behind in 123. The Torrent de Sant Jordi, which the resourceful Romans built to provide the town with water, is crossed by the ancient Roman bridge, El Pont Romà. Up until the Vandals attacked in 440, there was peace. However, the Vandals caused havoc and forced the survivors to evacuate inland.

There are several interesting locations to see in the town, such as the Roman bridge, Pont Roma, which is still in use, and the Puig de Pollensa, a tiny mountain outside the town that is topped by a monastery. Here, we provide you all the details you need to enjoy this laid-back yet culturally rewarding inland town to the fullest.
