Calvary Chapel
Carrer Sense nom, 324, 07460 Pollença, Illes Balears, Spain
Calvary Chapel (Ermita del Calvari) is a small hilltop chapel above Pollença reached by a striking flight of 365 stone steps lined with cypress trees; the climb rewards visitors with a peaceful religious site and sweeping views over the town, marina and Tramuntana foothills.
What Makes It Special
The route itself is the attraction: the cypress‑lined, numbered stone steps form a traditional pilgrimage ascent used each Easter for the town’s solemn procession, creating a powerful blend of landscape, faith and local ritual.
Insider Tips
Wear sturdy shoes and bring water—the steps are steep and uneven and there is no wheelchair access; aim to visit early morning or late afternoon for cooler temperatures and the best light for photos, and expect crowds if you come during Holy Week.
