The Santuari de Lluc is considered to be the most important pilgrimage site on Majorca. The monastery and pilgrimage site is located 525 metres high and is surrounded by a number of high mountains such as the Puig de Massanella. The sanctuary was founded in the 13th century after a Moorish shepherd found a statue of the Virgin Mary at the site. The monastery is often used as a starting point for walking tours. Each year, on the first weekend in August, there is a night walk from Palma to the sanctuary. Behind the monastery buildings is a botanical garden trail, containing a small exposition on preserving the environment of the Majorcan mountain region.
