Details on Santa Ponsa and its environment

As unbelievable as it might sound, Santa Ponsa, just at the base of Galatzò, is the origin. History shows that at about 6500 years ago, the pioneers of Mallorca started out on this holy mountain in a place called the “Costa de la Calma.”
When viewing the “Parque Archeologico Puig de Sa Morisca” from the elevated ground, you will appreciate the majesty of the talayotic settlements especially when you consider the remains of the used-to-be circular buildings of diameters as wide as nine meters. In historical times, villas were the predominant buildings in Santa Ponsa but whether or not other buildings were permitted is still unclear. But something is sure today, the landscape of Santa Ponsa is filled with various kinds of buildings ranging from villas to apartment buildings, available for buyers from a different part of the world to purchase from real estate agents within and around Santa Ponsa. Away from magnificent villas and buildings, let’s continue the discussion at hand.

Santa Ponsa, on the southwestern coast of Majorca, is a large town with a population of 12,000 people, is where the takeover of the island started. King James I and his knights, in his campaign to conquer the island, he encountered great distress. This made the king, while in pains, promised to build a church for the holy Virgin Mary if he is rescued. In September 1930, the “Creu de la Conquesta, “Cross of conquest” ” or “Creu de la Conquesta”, was built to commemorate the 700th anniversary of the ethen. Since then the cross has been destroyed and rebuilt many times.

To celebrate the town’s history, the elders and fathers in the town hold a yearly event “Moros i Cristians” September of each year. “Moros I Cristians” is quite popular so much that attracts tourist to stay and be part of the celebration for a while. It is quite an interesting event where Christian Knights beat rough brown moors using turbans and scimitar in their hand. This the Knights do this with shield and swords just demonstrate the historic fight in the conquest of the land. The reality must be agreed to that Spanish knight came onto the Santa Ponsa coast undisturbed even by the presence of the Mohammedans.

The first battle was fought on a hill only about 3.8 miles to the west, the front of Magalluf. Though the Spanish expedition was successful, it wasn’t without a cost of its own. The king lost two of his nephew in the expedition. The victory of the expedition was followed by the laying of a stone slab, and the very first Catholic mass was held to celebrate the conquest of the island.

Over time the island has experienced peace and the then “Sat Marisca,” a mountain hill has been overrun by recently built grand villas and apartment buildings with the residents enjoying the wonderful feeling of staying and taking a look at the blue sea.
