The Cura Sanctuary - Entry to Grammar Room

Algaida, Mallorca, Spain

The Grammar Room (Aula de Gramatica) is the only survivor of the grammar school that operated here in 17th century.
Now it has been transformed into a small museum.
Grammar School, founded at first as the Lullian School, later run by various patrons and humanists,
became one of the three great grammar schools of Mallorca.
It was closed around 1830.

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, a theologian and philosopher, found illumination.
