location

Torrent de Ca n'Amer

Son Carrió is four kilometers southeast of the capital of the municipality of Sant Llorenc des Cardassar on Torrent de Ca n'Amer , a non-water-bearing constantly torrent ( Torrent ), southeast of the town in about five kilometers S'Illot into the Mediterranean flows. Already 400 meters south of the closed urban development of Son Carrió, which is about 100  meters above sea level , the border with the neighboring municipality of Manacor runs along the 143 meter high Puig de Son Manxo . In the north, the valley of the Torrent de Ca n'Amer is bounded by the 184-meter-high Puig de ses Talaies , which overlooks Son Carrió 1.5 kilometers northeast of the town center.

The MA-4021 road, which connects the city of Manacor with S'Illot, runs from west to east through the location of Son Carrió. Within the village, the MA-4024 branches off to the south to Porto Cristo , the former port of Manacor and largest natural harbor on the east coast of Mallorca, a place with over 7300 inhabitants that is five kilometers south of Son Carrió. Both Porto Cristo and S'Illot belong to the municipality of Manacor. Son Carrió is around 57 kilometers from the island's capital, Palma , and around 51 kilometers from the international airport of Aeroport de Son Sant Joan .

history

The local history of Son Carrió began in 1860 with the parceling of the homonymous estate near the old chapel of Son Tovell. The place name goes back to a previous owner of the estate called Carrió , as is common in Mallorca: Son means something like 'that is from' or 'that belongs to', it stands for the contracted Catalan words Ço és d'En . The estate is mentioned for the first time in a lease from August 11, 1711 between the then owner Nicolau Catlar i Dameto and the lessee Maties Pomar, notarized by the notary Miquel Monserrat in Manacor.

Church of Son Carrió

Most of the people from Sant Llorenç des Cardassar and Manacor bought the land on the estate, which was divided in 1860. One of the first settlers, Joan Lliteres Llull alias Melé, had a public oratory built next to his shop on the plot he bought in 1866 , a chapel consecrated to the Mother of God ( Mare de Déu del Carme in Catalan ) in 1873 , which was later rededicated to Saint Michael . With the strong increase in the population, the first church of Sant Miquel was built in 1888 , which had to be expanded in 1891. But this also turned out to be too small, so that a new building was planned in 1898. The foundation stone of the current building of Sant Miquel was laid in 1899 and the church was consecrated in 1907 by Bishop Pere-Joan Campins.

Community branch

The center of Son Carrió consisted of three longitudinal streets and four cross streets in 1879. Between 1885 and 1893, the Son Tovell, Sa Gruta, Es Rafal de sa Riba, Son Berga, Es Molinet and Es Boscarró estates were built in the area. In 1892, Sant Llorenç des Cardassar, which previously belonged to Manacor, became an independent municipality, with Son Carrió also moving from Manacor to Sant Llorenç. On February 12, 1899, Sister Maria Magdalena Sansó founded a Franciscan monastery in Son Carrió , in which three nuns lived in 1905 on the property of Joan Orlandis next to the church , who looked after the primary school and took care of female patients. The monastery was closed again in 1915.

Son Carrió was connected to the railway network of the island of Mallorca in 1921 when the 30.35 kilometer route from Manacor to Artà was put into operation. As a result, a new residential area developed along Carrer d'Estació north of the old settlement core. The railway line was shut down in June 1977. The tracks and modernist buildings of the station with the station name San Miguel in Son Carrió are still partially preserved. The line from Manacor to Artá ​​should be reopened by 2011.

During the Battle of Mallorca in the Spanish Civil War , Son Carrió was the only place on the island that could be completely captured by the republican troops and held for over a week. After the town was bombed on August 26, 1936 by planes and ship guns, the Francoist defenders vacated their positions in the town center, in the adjacent hills and in the windmills to the east. Many villagers fled to Son Servera , Sant Llorenç or Manacor, among them the parish priest Martín Rosselló, who brought the monstrance , the chalice , the parish seal, the parish registers and archives as well as the money from the collection to safety. Son Carrió was taken from three sides, from the east by an association of the anarcho-syndicalist union CNT via the Finca Sa Torre Nova , which later served the Republicans as a field hospital, by other military personnel on the southern overland route from Porto Cristo and by around 500 militiamen the southeast path from the direction of S'Illot .

After the occupation of the place, the houses were searched for food and valuables and looted. In the church, the anarchist militiamen tore the holy figures from the main altar and the side chapels. The statues of Christ , the Virgin Mary and the equestrian figure of Santiago Matamoros were smashed. In addition to a bomb hit on the right behind the main altar, which caused a hole in the outer wall, damage was also caused by target practice on the church building. The Republicans withdrew from Son Carrió to their warships on the night of September 4, 1936. Shortly afterwards the Franquists moved in again. The few residents of the village who had not fled the Republicans were suspected of collaboration and harassed. The bullet holes from the time of the civil war can still be seen on some of Son Carrió's houses.

Entrance to Sant Miquel

Sant Miquel church and former Franciscan monastery

The plans of the Catholic Church of Son Carrió, built from 1899 to 1907, were drawn up by Vicar General Monsenyor Antoni Maria Alcover, by the provincial architect Joan Guasp , who was involved in the construction of the Island Council building in Palma, and examined by the well-known architect Antoni Gaudí i Cornet and Joan Rubió i Bellver slightly modified. The neo-Romanesque style building is made from Marès stones from a nearby quarry.

In 1934 Sant Miquel was given parish church status. After its desecration on August 26, 1936 by Republican troops after landing on the east coast of Mallorca , it was consecrated again on September 13 of that year. The Franciscan monastery was housed in the extensions, in the same architectural style as the church, and they still house the vicariate today .

Ca n'Apoŀlònia cultural center

Ca n'Apoŀlònia stands on the 1507 m² site of a former farm. The two-storey building acquired by the municipality in 1994 dates from the second half of the 19th century. Since the renovation work was completed in 1999, it has served Son Carrió as a cultural center .
