Inca
also offers a wealth of monuments worthy of a visit. There are numerous churches
in traditional Mallorcan style, built with honey coloured stone. All have their
own art treasures worth seeing.
Outside
the town, from the Inca-Alcudia road, turn right and follow the road to the Ermita
de Santa Magdalena. The road continues to the peak of the Puig d'Inca (304m) and
a small sanctuary from which you have splendid views of the countryside. There
is a small chapel and cafe for visitors. Each year there is a pilgrimage to the
hermitage, said to have been held for over 800 years. It is held on the first
Sunday after Easter.
