About

Visiting the church of Santa Fe

This church, was built during the mid-fourteenth century by king Nuño Sanc. It has been used both as a church of the Catholics, and as a synagogue from when this neighborhood made the Jewish quarter of Palma.

There are several theories on how it has gotten its name, the two most recognized, are the devotion to Saint Faith of Conques, or the Mystery of the Holy Faith.

In the 16th century, the church changed its patronage to Saint Christopher, but never changed its name.
