Montuïri

Montuïri

Montuïri is a village on the Plain of Mallorca, situated right in the middle of the island. Most buildings in the village are traditional constructions and the settlement sits on a hill which is 178 m above sea level on one side of the busy road from Manacor.

The Parish Church of Sant Bartomeu is one of the most significant buildings in Montuïri, along with the old windmills used for grinding flour in times gone by. Also of note is the Rectory building, which was built between the 14th and 15th centuries. On the outskirts of the village are the prehistoric remains of the Talayotic settlement of Son Fornés and the hill of Sant Miquel, with the Sanctuary of Mare de Deu de la Bona Pau, which dates back to the 14th century.

Patrimonio de Montuïri
La mayor parte del patrimonio de Montuïri se concentra en los bienes eclesiásticos: la iglesia de Sant Bartomeu, la rectoría y el oratorio del puig de Sant Miquel. También, en las obras civiles, tales como el edificio de ses Escoles, el yacimiento arqueológico de Son Fornés y casas señoriales, possessions, cellers, molinos, etc.

Las últimas restauraciones del patrimonio, llevadas a cabo en Montuïri son: la torre del campanario y el portal dels homes de la iglesia, el antiguo retablo mayor, la fachada de la rectoría, las cruces de término y parte del yacimiento de Son Fornés.
