The Calvary is an astonishing stairway with 365 steps, one per each day of the year, and 14 three meters high crosses commemorating the suffering of Jesus Christ while he was going up to the Golgotha hill where he was crucified. The stairway is lined by cypresses and beautiful Mallorcan traditional stone houses.

At its summit you can find a beautiful small church built at the end of the eighteenth century and rebuilt in the sixties of the last century as well as a magnificent viewpoint with fascinating views of the town of Pollensa and its surroundings.
