Mallorca is the largest island in the Mediterranean Balearic Islands, which are part of Spain. Mallorca is an extremely popular holiday destination. The Palma de Mallorca Airport, one of the busiest in Spain, is used by about 30 million tourists per year.
After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, the island was invaded by the Vandals in 425. The time of the Vandals ended, when Byzantine troops general took the island in 534. The first Muslim arrivals were in 707. These ended the Byzantine domination and established their own hegemony. Until 903, the island was part of the Umayyad Caliphate.
From Between 902 and 1229 the island was under Islamic control. James I of Aragon ( aka "Jaume el Conqueridor") conquered Mallorca in December 1229.
San Juan Bautista was erected in 1248. End of the 16th century it had a defense tower. Over the years it underwent various reforms and in 1867 , the old church collapsed and a new construction began. It was completed in 1896 and resulted in a mixture of styles, of which the neoclassical one stands out with neo-Romanesque and neo-Gothic elements.
Some capitals of the church's capitals may date back to the 13th century, but this one, depicting a dog and a hare surrounded by foliage may be much younger.
