Mount Calvary chapel in Pollença, Church building at Monte del Calvario, Pollença, Spain

The Eglésia del Calvari is a chapel on the Kalvarienberg northwest of Pollença's centre, reached by the Carrer del Calvari stairway or a path lined with 14 stone crosses, each 2.90 metres high. The baroque building, consecrated in 1799, has a gable roof, a southeast entrance portal facing the town, and a bell gable above the door. Its interior is elliptical and three-aisled, covered by a barrel vault with transverse arches and a sandstone cornice.

After the 1229 Christian reconquest of Mallorca, King Jaume I gave the Calvary hill area to the Templar Order; from 1314 it belonged to the Knights of Malta. In 1488 the notary Joan Porquer brought a stone sculpture group of the Virgin under the Cross to Pollença, the island's only Gothic statue, and it was set up on the hill. A first chapel probably rose around 1650 to shelter the figures, which had been kept in a shed; the present Baroque building was consecrated in 1799.

Since 1650 a Good Friday procession has set out from the chapel and still takes place regularly. The stone sculpture group of the Virgin Mary under the cross, brought to Pollença in 1488 by the notary Joan Porquer, is the only Gothic statue on Mallorca and was kept here for protection.

The chapel stands on the Kalvarienberg northwest of Pollença's centre. From the town core, the Carrer del Calvari open staircase climbs to it; a second path runs past 14 stone crosses, each 2.90 metres high, marking the stations of an old Way of the Cross. The entrance portal faces southeast, toward the town.

The path beside the staircase is lined with fourteen stone crosses, each 2.90 metres high, marking the stations of an old Way of the Cross. The carved Gothic group of the Virgin Mary under the cross, brought to Pollença in 1488 by the notary Joan Porquer, is the only Gothic statue on Mallorca and stands inside on a column made from an old millstone.
