Where Sóller Comes to Life
A Lively Hub Beneath the Tramuntana Peaks
In the very centre of Sóller, this bustling square has been the social heart of the town for centuries. Framed by elegant façades and shaded by leafy plane trees, it’s where locals gather for morning coffee, children play in the Mediterranean sunshine, and visitors pause to take in the dramatic Serra de Tramuntana backdrop. The atmosphere changes throughout the day — peaceful in the early hours, animated by midday chatter, and softly lit by terrace lamps in the evening.
Architectural Grandeur at its Core
Dominating the square is the Church of Sant Bartomeu, a landmark whose origins date back to the 13th century. Originally Romanesque, it was later enhanced with Baroque details and a striking Neo-Gothic façade designed in 1904 by Joan Rubió i Bellver, a celebrated disciple of Antoni Gaudí. The intricate stonework, towering spire, and ornate altars inside make it one of Mallorca’s most beautiful churches, while colourful stained glass windows create a serene play of light.
The Rhythm of Sóller Life
This historic square is more than a scenic stop — it’s a living stage for the daily rhythm of Sóller. From café terraces, you can watch the iconic wooden tram rattle past on its route to Port de Sóller, hear the chiming church bells, and enjoy music from street performers. On market days, stalls overflow with fresh local produce, flowers, and artisan goods, filling the air with enticing scents and colour.
A Perfect Place to Pause
Whether starting your day of exploration or relaxing after a hike in the Tramuntana mountains, this central plaza offers the perfect place to slow down. Order a freshly squeezed orange juice from the valley’s famous citrus, sit back, and soak in the authentic atmosphere of one of Mallorca’s most charming towns.
