What it is

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.
