Esglesia de Santa Eulalia
About
Santa Eulàlia is one of Palma's oldest churches, built in the thirteenth century shortly after Jaume I's conquest of the island. It was here, not in the cathedral, that Jaume II was crowned the first King of Mallorca in 1276. The cathedral wouldn't be finished for another three hundred years.

The church carries a darker chapter too. In 1435, the entire Jewish community of Palma entered Santa Eulàlia and emerged baptised as Catholics, many coerced under threat of violence. For generations afterwards it was known as the Church of the Conversos, and the descendants of those forced converts. The Chuetas, continued to worship here while enduring discrimination well into the twentieth century.

Every Christmas, the Cant de la Sibil·la is still performed inside, a medieval chant recognised by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

VoiceMap's tours use Santa Eulàlia as the culminating point of Palma's Jewish history walks, tracing the Chueta story from the medieval quarter to this square.
