A convent in the old center of Palma founded for Capuchin Poor Clares under a royal decree of 1662. It was declared a Bien de Interés Cultural in 2010 together with its contents, and contemplative life continues there under Franciscan sisters who arrived in 2006.
What it needs
A ruined building in the convent orchard, beside a central city street, is shored up, damp and at risk of collapse. The appeal funds its urgent repair.
Before you act. The appeal has been running since at least December 2023, and its target covers only part of the works budget.
About 200 timber ceiling beams in the first floor of the cloister are failing from age, damp and wood-boring insects; many must be replaced and the rest treated. The 'Apadrina una viga' (sponsor a beam) appeal prices each beam at 300 euros.
Water filtering in from the neighboring patio has damaged the foundations of a wall in the novitiate wing of this 16th-century listed convent. The appeal pays for the repair.
