Santuari de Monti-Sión, Catholic pilgrimage church and monastery in Porreres, Spain.

The religious complex sits atop Puig de Monti-sion at 248 meters, surrounded by pine, carob, and wild olive trees on Mallorca island.

The sanctuary's origins trace back to the 14th century, with a Latin Grammar School established in 1530 to prepare students for university admission.

The first Sunday after Easter features the Diumenge del Angel celebration, where people process from Porreres to the sanctuary for Mass and dance.

Visitors reach the sanctuary via a 1.8-kilometer road with an average gradient of 6.2%, leading to accommodations and a restaurant serving regional dishes.

Gothic columns line the access road, representing the Seven Sorrows and Joys of Mary, while the cloister features an irregular pentagonal shape.
