Artà

Between fortified sanctuary, craftsmanship, and prehistoric settlement

Sant Salvador, historic town center and Talayotic settlement

Artà is located in the northeast of Mallorca in the inland of the Llevant. The fortified sanctuary of Sant Salvador rises above the established town center and defines its silhouette. Stairs, alleys, and historic houses connect the higher area with the center. The town is the cultural and economic center of its rural surroundings and is not a resort directly on the beach.

On the edge of town, the prehistoric settlement of Ses Païsses, with its surrounding wall, monumental gate, and inner building structures, provides access to the Talayotic past. Traditional crafts and the parish church complete the city tour. Landscape destinations of the Llevant and the coast require separate trips; for Artà itself, you should plan for inclines and the detour to Ses Païsses.

What to Expect

• Sant Salvador Sanctuary
