Convent de Sant Francesc

The Convent de Sant Francesc in Palma is defined by its trapezoidal Gothic cloister, where slender columns support delicate, lobed arches. This stone enclosure, constructed between the fourteenth and sixteenth centuries, sits beside a basilica that has stood on this site since the late thirteenth century. The church itself features a prominent Baroque façade, rebuilt in the seventeenth century after lightning destroyed the original Gothic front.
