Chapel of the Virgin of the Refuge
This chapel, now dedicated to the Virgin of the Refuge, was previously devoted to St. Francis of Paula until the 1950s.
The Virgin of the Refuge is a replica of the image located in the chapel at Alaró Castle. In 1953, the parish priest chose to remove the statue of St. Francis and replace it with this modern reproduction, which is based on an image from the 17th century. This decision sparked significant controversy, but the priest remained resolute in his choice.
St. Francis of Paula is depicted on the left wall of the chapel, with a painting of St. Francis Xavier in the upper section.
