Mount Calvary chapel in Pollença, Church building at Monte del Calvario, Pollença, Spain
The Mount Calvary chapel stands at the summit of Monte del Calvario, reached by a staircase of 365 stone steps lined with cypress trees.
The Knights Templar controlled this mountain after its conquest in 1229, collecting taxes and administering justice from this strategic location.
During Good Friday, the chapel hosts the Davallament ceremony, where participants carry the figure of Christ down to the Church of Virgin of Angeles.
While visitors can climb the steps for the complete experience, a parallel road allows vehicle access to reach the chapel at the summit.
Each of the 365 steps represents one day of the year, with fourteen three-meter-high crosses marking stations along the ascending path.
