VISIT THE 14TH CENTURY CHURCH OF CRESTATX:
It’s always interesting and fun to see something that dates back a long time and has a history to tell.

The temple has undergone many restorations and modifications since the original building was constructed, however, many of the original elements are still seen on the exterior and in the interior. Beautiful gardens surround the oratory. This is a great little trip to a nice and tranquil area, perfect if you are also visiting the s’Albufera wetlands, or are just nearby.
VISIT THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH:
As the case of many Mallorcan towns and villages, the churches have a central role in the forming of the local community. Inside the church of Sant Antoni, you will find a beautiful interior, an organ of the famous Damià Caimari dating back from 1717 along with a collection of religious arts.
