Santuario del Puig de Maria, Medieval hermitage on Puig de Maria mountain in Pollença, Spain.

Santuario del Puig de Maria is a stone sanctuary perched 330 meters (1,083 feet) above sea level on a mountain peak near Pollença, featuring a bell tower, fortified walls, and traditional Mallorcan architectural details. The complex includes the remains of a monastery with school rooms, a library, and service buildings arranged around the central chapel.

Construction of the sanctuary began in 1348, with a church established in 1355, followed by the addition of a monastery featuring school and library facilities. These expansions transformed the site into a significant religious and educational center for the region.

The sanctuary attracts pilgrims who come to venerate a statue of the Virgin Mary housed within its walls. Religious ceremonies still take place regularly, keeping this mountain shrine connected to the spiritual life of the surrounding communities.

The trail starts at the southeastern edge of Pollença and is signposted as a variant of the long-distance GR 221 route. The partly steep, rough paved path takes about an hour to climb. Wear sturdy shoes and allow enough time for the ascent.

On 30 and 31 May 1550, the people of Pollença took refuge inside the monastery walls during a raid by 1,500 corsairs. The watchtower and fortress-like walls built for such attacks still stand around the complex.
