Church of Sant Jaume and Parish Museum

The Church of Sant Jaume stands beside the medieval walls of Alcúdia's old town. It's small, but striking for its beauty and peaceful atmosphere. It was rebuilt in neo-Gothic style in the late 19th century, after the original church collapsed in 1870. The exterior is plain, while inside you'll find a rose window, stained glass and the Baroque chapel of the Holy Christ (17th century), a figure much revered in the town. The small parish museum holds Mallorcan Gothic works from the 14th and 15th centuries, including an altarpiece and carved choir stalls. A visit takes about 20 minutes, and it's a cool escape on hot days.
