The Franciscan monastery of Cura was built in the middle of 20th century.
Above the stone portal, there is a small stone statue of Ramon Llull and a small patch of the mendicant order, with a cross and two arms.
The Cura Sanctuary (Sanctuary Nostra Senyora de Cura) is one of the most famous and popular sanctuaries in Mallorca.
It was erected in Mount Randa (Puig de Randa, 543 m above sea level and the highest point in central Mallorca as well as the sacred mountain),
near the cave where Blessed Ramon Llull found illumination.
Ramon Llull was a writer, theologian and philosopher living in 13th/14th century (1232-1316).
He left his royal household when he had a spiritual awakening and changed his life abruptly, from his hectic and libertine youth.
At the age of 30, he converted after having five times the vision of Christ crucified.
He sought solitude on Randa Hill in 1274 and spent nine years living as a hermit.
The church was built in 17th century, in 1668.
