  • We took the bus from Soller to Deia. After exiting where the bus drops you off at the post office / shop area, we walked the 5-10 minutes up the hill to the church. Well worth it for some stunning...

  • We walked up the hill to the church and found a string quartet playing inside. Very beautiful music echoed inside the church. There is a pretty cemetry nearby.

  • An easy (though fairly steep) walk up a tarmac road to a lovely area just below the church. A real aura around the building which has amazing views from all directions. As usual, here, a sense of...

  • The walk up to the church is through the beautiful town full of old homes that are very well kept. They also have a very pretty cemetery right next to it that is free to visit as long as you respect the location. Great views from here as it sits atop a hill overlooking the sea and with the mountainous backdrop
  • Stunning place! So peaceful and quite! Views are breath taking.
  • Definitely worth visiting. The contrast of high hills behind and open sea in front of you is just incredible. Don’t miss this place if you are anywhere near.
  • It is an old religious building. A.D 1497 (approx). Originally, there was a small defensive fortress on this site. The height of the church hill is 623 ft a.s.l. There are two theories. First theory - the church's tower is a remnant of the defensive tower. The Second theory - after a great fire in 1752, the church was rebuilt. Next, the church received the tower. After the fire, a wooden sculpture of St. Onuphrius miraculously survived. It is an important sculpture for the local Christian community. Església de Sant Joan Baptista is a place full of silence and reflection above past and future life. I visited in July 2021. My recommendation.
  • Peaceful and serene. The most beautiful and idyllic graveyard I have ever been to.
