The Cura Sanctuary - Monument Of Ramon Llull

Algaida, Mallorca, Spain

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.
Devoting himself to prayer and study, he wrote in Catalan and Latin on everything from algebra to metaphysics.
He is widely seen as the father of Balearic Catalan language.

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.
