Santa Maria la Major d'Inca, Church building in Inca, Spain.

Santa Maria la Major is a Baroque church in Inca, Mallorca, with a facade of local sandstone. Its interior has twelve side chapels and an apse holding the gilded main altarpiece by José Sastre, flanked by angels carved by Guillermo Galmés. A separate 16th–17th-century stone bell tower with pointed arches stands apart from the main facade.

A first parish church is documented in 1248, when it belonged to the Templar order; written references begin with a 1256 bequest by Maria Cizaya. A second building was financed in the first quarter of the 14th century, as the tomb slab of Guillem Sabadell, died 1329, in the Santo Cristo chapel records. In 1703 the rector Miquel Santandreu was told the temple was ruinous, and the present church was built in the 18th and 19th centuries.

The baptismal chapel beside the entrance holds the panel painting Santa Maria la Major, made by Joan Daurer in 1373 and the oldest Mallorcan painting with a known artist. A wooden hoist kept there was used for full-body baptism of newborns, a practice officially abolished in 1250.

The church stands between Carrer de la Sirena, Carrer de la Campana and Plaça d'Orient, where its address is number 36. The bell tower is separate from the main facade, so look for it as a landmark when approaching on foot through the old centre. The side door is the one crowned by the image of the Virgin of the Angels.

On the east facade, a sculpture of a two-tailed siren gives its name to Carrer de la Sirena. It may come from the first church, and a hypothesis links it to the Templars, who held properties in Inca granted by James I near the church.
