Llucmajor is at 327 square kilometres, the largest municipality of Majorca. With only 37,000 inhabitants, it is relatively sparsely populated. Agriculture and livestock have impressed here everyday for centuries. The place name derives from the Latin ("Lucus Maiori" - large forest) and suggests that the area was once densely forested.
A City Steeped in History
The centre of this municipality is the city which can look back on over 700 years of history. In 1349 the fateful Battle of Llucmajor took place here. The independent Kingdom of Majorca then lost its sovereignty and became part of the Kingdom of Aragon again under Pedro IV. His cousin, Jaume III., lost his life in the battle and was initially buried in the parish church of San Miguel. Today, his body rests in the Cathedral of Palma. Llucmajor commemorated the last Majorcan king with a statue in Calle Esplanada.

The Monastery Mountain of Randa
Llucmajor is located at the foot of the mountain monastery of Randa, where another famous island personality spent 10 years of their life. It is said that Ramón Llull (1232-1316 AD.), the Majorcan philosopher and theologian took time for inner reflection on the famous mountain. He lived a secluded life in a hermit's cave and there completed many of his writings. Here he experienced a vision of Christ, which prompted him to encourage missionary activity. After his death, numerous clergy followed his path and founded three monasteries on the Randa mountain over time, which can still be visited today.

The social scene can be found on the main market square, the Placa de España. Here the locals drink their café con leche preferably in the historic Café Colon, which opened in 1928.
