There are many monasteries and convents on the island of Mallorca, and some cloisters. There is little doubt in my mind that the finest cloisters are to be found at the Església i Convent de Sant Francesc, in Palma de Mallorca.
The church was first put into service in 1317 and its convent a little later.
The cloistered courtyard can be visited from 09h30 to 12h30 (daily), as well as from 15h30 to 18h00 (Mon. to Fri.), as long as you are prepared to lay out the 1 € admission charge.
The convent can not be visited, though, as it is a convent no longer, but instead, a dayschool for Juniors, both, boys and girls.
