Can Ilau is based just 5 minutes away from the centre of Pollensa, a location that is viewed as an engaging hub of culture and vitality. If you are an avid lover of European history, you must take a trip to Placa de l’Amoina, which is situated just under 5 minutes away from the villa. This landmark is based in a small square which includes a grandiose house. This building was once run by determined university students who used their personal funds to help care for some of the region’s poorest citizens. Alongside its charitable efforts, this area is also known as a ferocious battleground, particularly during the harrowing events of the 30th of May 1550. During this time, a collection of aggressive ambushers attacked the town, leaving the local citizens to fend for themselves. Puig de Maria is one of the most significant religious monuments in the entire region and boasts an incredibly far-reaching history. At the very top of a looming 330-metre peak, guests can marvel at an archaic 14th-century monastery that was once used as a devoted shrine to the Virgin Mary. Despite its influence throughout the area, it was forced to close its doors in 1564 and did not reopen until 1638. Nowadays, it welcomes guests to explore its vast range of artefacts and encourages them to deepen their knowledge of this detailed and rich region. Puig de Maria can be found just a few minutes away from the villa and only takes around half an hour to climb, making it a very accessible hike for most tourists. The Pollensa Museum is another iconic monument that is located just under 5 minutes away from Can Ilau. Many modern-day guests will recognise this landmark for its collection of prolific pieces, such as the works of Attilio Boveri. However, it was once seen as a simple storage unit for an array of Gothic altarpieces. Though they may not seem overly pivotal, these pieces managed to gain a wide variety of attention, even receiving praise at the prestigious Summer Exhibition of Painting back in the 1960s. When the museum first opened its doors to the public in 1975, it quickly became a huge success and continues to attract a plethora of guests from around the world. An added bonus of this attraction is that it is free to enter, which is ideal for those travelling on a budget.
