Sant Jeroni Church: A 500-year commitment to prayer and Gaudí's unfinished

The Sant Jeroni Church, also known as Convent de Santa Elisabet or Convent de Santa Isabel, is a convent of nuns of the Order of Saint Jerome. Established in the city of Mallorca in the 15th century, it is one of the most preserved convent complexes in the city. Among the various communities that have taken residence in the convent is the one that brought the name Sant Jeroni, a testament to the centuries-long presence of religious women. The initial convent was established near Porta del Camp, while the current church was constructed between 1651 and 1669. Notable for this church is the collaboration with Antoni Gaudí in 1912, resulting in an unfinished project. The community left the convent in 2015 and moved to the Monestir de Sant Bartomeu d'Inca.

Nostra Senyora de la Consolació presides the main altar. Gabriel Mòger created the main altar in 1507, while Pere Terrencs painted St. Jeremi's image in Gothic style. Mateu Llopis painted the Immaculate Conception in 1574.
