The village has charming, narrow, steep streets, the birth home of Santa Catalina Thom\u00e1s<\/a> is also still preserved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The village of Valldemossa is closely linked to La Cartuja<\/strong>, a monastery that dates back to the 14th century. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around the year 1300, King Jaume\u00a0 the 2nd, built himself a small palace that he later gave to his son King Sancho, who not long afterwards donated it to the Carthusian monks<\/a> so they could settle in it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cartuja or monastery was later built, attached to the palace, both buildings still stand today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apart from famous guests like Chopin<\/strong> and George Sand<\/strong>, many important people spent time in the Cartuja; Rub\u00e9n Dar\u00edo, Jovellanos, Santiago Rusi\u00f1ol and many others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The primitive Guasp printing press is one of the best preserved of the 17th century in Europe: year 1622. It still works!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
