About This Place
Creu de Santa Ponça (Cross of Santa Ponça) is a historic monument in Santa Ponsa, Mallorca, marking the site where the Aragonese King Jaume II landed in 1229 to begin the conquest of Mallorca. The ornate Gothic-style cross stands in a scenic hilltop location overlooking the bay and has become a symbol of this popular resort area on the south-west coast of the island. Free to visit.
