The Basilica de Sant Francesc, is a 13th century church and previous monastery.  It is typically Mallorcan,  a huge edifice of pale sandstone, untarnished by an industrial age and featuring  a delicately carved entrance and a rose window.

It has beautiful Gothic cloisters, the potential serenity of which were challenged by the sounds of children playing in a near by college.  Inside the church is the tomb of Ramon Llull (1235-1316), a Catalan celebrity who became a pious evangelist following a wild past and failed seduction attempt.  He was eventually stoned to death attempting to convert Muslims in Tunisia.
