History

The first monastery built on the site belonged to the Augustinian nuns who settled here around 1350. After the Council of Trento established that female orders could not remain in isolated locations, the first community was forced to leave the complex. The nuns left and resettled in the monastery of Purisíma Concepción in Palma de Mallorca where the order still resides. 

The monastery was abandoned for some one hundred years until a community of Missionaries of the Sacred Heart took up residence. They lived in the monastery until a few years ago when they left due to their advancing age and small numbers. The nuns had always run a hostelry and that tradition continues today under the management of the Bishopric of Mallorca
