Church founded in 1302 and incorporated into the city walls, so it doubled as a watchtower. It was undermined by floods in 1870 and collapsed, and re-built in 1890s neo-gothic. The museum displays religious art.
Plaça de Toros
This was built in the 1920s but no longer has bullfights. It's occasionally open for cultural events.
A Roman camp here was rebuilt as a civilian town from 70 BC, when this was Mallorca's main port for trade with Rome and the east Med, while Palma was the port for North Africa and Spain. There's a residential area, necropolis and small amphitheatre. Enter from the north through the town walls.
