Church of Sant Joan Baptista

The Parish Church of Sant Joan Baptista is the main church of Muro and one of the municipality’s key architectural landmarks. Designed by architect Sebastià Saura, it combines Gothic tradition with Baroque elements. It consists of a single nave with seven side chapels and is covered by a ribbed vault.

On the exterior, the arches linking the buttresses and the richly decorated Baroque side portal stand out, featuring images of the Virgin Mary, Saint John the Baptist, Saint John the Evangelist, Saint Peter and Saint Paul. The main altarpiece, developed between 1639 and 1787, is one of the most outstanding examples of Mallorcan Baroque. The organ, built by Pere Josep Bosch in 1760, is another of the church’s heritage jewels.

The stained glass windows, added in the 20th century, bring remarkable brightness to the interior.
