Local poet Costa i Llobera masterfully transmitted the beauty and classical resonance of “The Pine Tree of Formentor”, which is still revered at the Literary Conversations held since 1959 at the present-day Hotel Barceló Formentor.

Pollença, a place with stories to tell
Picture a place where verdant pine-clad mountains descend to meet an intensely turquoise sea. A town where stunning backdrops, a fascinating past and friendly locals are part of everything you do.
Imagine for a moment the authentic character of a dynamic town, with lively and creative people making Pollença a place with a full of content.
The town, with its old quarter, is the hub of social activities. Outlying resorts round off the destination: the Port, with excellent accommodation and tourist amenities, and Cala Sant Vicenç, with some of the best hotels on the island.
And, of course, the Formentor peninsula. Its famous hotel, its viewing point or its lighthouse have been sources of inspiration for politicians, artists and thinkers alike. Now you can discover them too.

The Museum of Pollença is located in the old cloister of the Dominicans and it was built between 1588 and 1616; the Dominican friars were there until 1836.
The name of Pollença is linked to the world of painting from the first years of the XXth century, when artists like Anglada Camarasa, Tito Citadini, arrived from Paris and its international renown attracted other artists like Mir, de Creeft...
The influence of these artists was materialized in the sixties with the creation of the Summer Exhibition of Painting, nowadays International Competition of Plastic Arts that, with 34 editions, has constituted the content of Pollença's Museum.
The Museum of Pollença was officially founded in 1975. In its halls were exhibited the works which won that Exhibition and a group of gothic altarpieces. With time the painting collection has increased and the contents have been enriched with works of archeologic character, a Buddhist mandala and Atilio Boveri's collection.
