Visiting the church of Our Lady of Perpetual Succour in Palma

The church was founded by Augustinian monks, who came to Palma de Mallorca in the 15th century.

Our Lady of Perpetual Succour, is an icon adopted by the Augustinian friars, who represents the blessed Virgin Mary.

The church was inaugurated in 1669, and built on top of a former church.

A visit to this church, is a msu if you have interest in religious art, because of the impressive collection of Baroque art works decorating the interior.
