Sóller

Sanctuary or destination point

Sa Capelleta is the name by which the town of Sóller knows the monastery of Santa Maria de l'Olivar des Fenàs. The first stone of this monastery was laid by Bishop Miralles in 1943. It was inhabited by cloistered Augustinian nuns until 2012. At that time, there was already a modernist-style 'chapel', dedicated to the Virgin of Lourdes, built in 1904 and blessed in 1917. Its interior is lined with stalactites to evoke the grotto of the North-Pyrenean Virgin. From this place there is a good view over the village and the valley of Sóller.
