Ermita de Sant Honorat
The Ermita de Sant Honorat is one of three monasteries on the Puig de Randa on the Balearic island of Mallorca . If you leave the village of Randa , which belongs to Algaida , on the road that leads up the mountain (Calle de Cura, MA-5018), after about 2.3 km you come to a path that branches off at an acute angle on the right side. Following it, you will find yourself in front of the monastery after a few meters.
In 1394, after having lived as a hermit on Mount Randa for 30 years, the knight Arnau Desbrull asked the Bishop of Mallorca for permission to build a chapel in honor of Sant Honorat on this site . Due to its poor condition, the old church was replaced in 1670 by the new one that still exists today. Only a stone tablet remains from the original church above the entrance portal. The monastery behind it was founded in 1890 by some brothers of the "Missioneros de los Sagrados Coracones".
Except for the church, the site is not open to unregistered visitors. The Sant Honorat, inhabited only by a few retired friars, now offers space and overnight accommodation, especially for seminar groups. There are two seminar rooms and rooms for around 22 participants.
