Sencelles, a tranquil municipality in the center of Mallorca, is located in the fertile region of Pla de Mallorca and offers an authentic insight into the traditional culture of the island.

These places impress with their original Mallorcan architecture and their close connection to agriculture.
Location and surroundings
Sencelles is only 26 kilometers from Palma and 8 kilometers from Inca. It borders well-known towns such as Binissalem and Sineu, which are also known for their rural beauty and cultural significance.
History and cultural heritage
The region around Sencelles has been inhabited for thousands of years, as archaeological sites of the Talayotic culture prove. Under Arab rule, the area was known as Canarrossa. In the 19th century, the region was hit hard by the phylloxera crisis, which almost completely destroyed viticulture. Today, however, Sencelles has once again become a center of viticulture, home to some of Mallorca's most important wineries.
An important name in Sencelles' history is Sister Francinaina Cirer (1781-1855), who is revered on the island for her healings and spiritual significance. She was beatified by Pope John Paul II and remains a symbol of Mallorcan culture.
