About
The Cartoixa de Valldemossa, a former royal residence turned Carthusian monastery, welcomes visitors free of charge from Monday to Saturday. This historic complex offers a journey through the lives of the monks, the Casa of King Sancho, and the iconic Chapel of Saint Teresa, all nestled in the heart of Mallorca’s Serra de Tramuntana. Guests can stroll through the tranquil gardens, marvel at the early 17th‑century printing press collection, and learn about Frédéric Chopin’s famous winter stay in the 18th‑century “Chopin Cell.” A short stroll outside the walls to the nearby town of Valldemossa provides a glimpse of local life and stunning mountain vistas.
