Not far from the center of the pueblo is the birthplace of the only Mallorcan native proclaimed a saint by the Catholic Church, namely Catalina Tomás. It is a small church, a point of devotion for the people of Valldemossa, who, as you will notice as you wander through the alleys of the village, all have “baldosas pintadas,” small tiles painted strictly by hand depicting scenes from the life of the saint, at the entrance of their houses.

🇮🇹 Poco lontana dal centro del pueblo, si trova la casa natale dell’unica dell’unica persona nativa di Maiorca proclamata santa dalla Chiesa Cattolica, ossia Catalina Tomás. E' una piccola chiesetta, punto di devozione dei valldemossini, i quali, come noterai girando per i vicoli del borgo, hanno tutti all’ingresso delle proprie case le “baldosas pintadas”, piccole piastrelle dipinte rigorosamente a mano raffiguranti scene della vita della santa.
