  • Review this attraction
  • The story goes that once, when a band of loutish brigands were preparing to attack the town of Capdepera, the townspeople implored the Madonna to help them. A thick fog promptly settled in, confounding the pirates. Since then, the town’s statue has been known as Sa Esperança (“the bringer of hope”). It is housed in a quaint Gothic chapel within the famous castle at Capdepera.
