Behind the walls of the Santa Maria Magdalena convent, we find the regular Lateran canonesses nuns. Crossing a flower walkway, we find the barefoot Carmelites<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Just a few meters way, in the Old Town, there are two more cloistered convents. In Calle de Les Caputxines, is the Purisima Concepci\u00f3n monastery<\/strong>, while the Agustina<\/strong> nuns follow their life of seclusion in the Zaforteza manor house in Calle Concepci\u00f3n. This tiny area of Palma gathers four congregations that are experts in confinement<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In La Calatrava area<\/strong>, the brides turn to Santa Clara<\/a> hoping that the prayers of those living within will bring about good weather on their wedding day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Calle de la Porta del Mar, the Jer\u00f3nima sisters<\/strong> used to dwell in the Santa Isabel convent<\/strong>, but they were moved to Inca. Further from the center (Sant Francesc de Sales, 128) we find the Visitaci\u00f3n de Santa Maria<\/strong> of the Salesian nuns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of the buildings have small lodging accommodations for family and other members of the order who are travelling through<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The imposing and austere walls, gates and lattice work of the convents provide the city\u2019s old town with a medieval look<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When seeing the cosmopolitan ambience of the center of Palma, little would one suspect the existence of these women who are such great experts in confinement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crossing a flower walkway, we find the barefoot Carmelites.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":27997,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"off","_et_pb_old_content":"\n

Los altos muros del convento de Santa Mar\u00eda Magdalena marcan el inicio de las Ramblas. Detr\u00e1s de ellos, rezan y trabajan monjas canonesas regulares lateranenses, separadas del mundo por vocaci\u00f3n. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cruzando el paseo de las flores, se encuentran las carmelitas descalzas, que llegaron a Palma en 1617. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A pocos metros, entre las v\u00edas m\u00e1s estrechas del casco antiguo, hay dos conventos de clausura m\u00e1s. En la calle de Les Caputxines est\u00e1 el monasterio de la Pur\u00edsima Concepci\u00f3n, mientras que las monjas agustinas siguen su vida de recogimiento en el formidable casal de los Zaforteza, en la calle Concepci\u00f3n. As\u00ed que, esta peque\u00f1\u00edsima zona de Palma concentra cuatro congregaciones de expertas en confinamiento<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Al otro extremo del casco antiguo, en el barrio de La Calatrava, viven las monjas de clausura m\u00e1s populares de la ciudad, si la popularidad interesase a quien elige separarse del mundo. Las novias acuden a las clarisas franciscanas para que los rezos de las moradoras de Santa Clara propicien el buen tiempo el d\u00eda de su boda. Cerca de este monasterio, en la calle de la Porta del Mar, estaban las hermanas Jer\u00f3nimas, pero en los \u00faltimos a\u00f1os las tres religiosas que habitaban el convento de Santa Isabel fueron trasladadas a Inca. Ya alejado del centro (Sant Francesc de Sales, 128) se encuentra la Visitaci\u00f3n de Santa Mar\u00eda, de monjas salesas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diferentes normas rigen la vida de los monasterios y conventos de clausura, imponiendo mayores o menores niveles de austeridad. Queda claro el poder de la madre superiora, quien decide sobre la oportunidad de las entradas y salidas, promoviendo el silencio que impera entre sus muros. La mayor\u00eda de edificios cuentan con peque\u00f1as hospeder\u00edas reservadas a familiares y religiosos de paso. Estas \u00f3rdenes de clausura dan nombres a las calles de Palma. Los imponentes y austeros muros, las verjas y celos\u00edas de sus conventos proveen una fisionom\u00eda medieval al casco antiguo de la ciudad. Viendo el ambiente animado y cosmopolita del centro de Palma poco sospechamos la existencia de unas mujeres expertas en confinamiento, que pasan su vida en contemplaci\u00f3n y sosiego.<\/p>\n","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-28026","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-culture","et-has-post-format-content","et_post_format-et-post-format-standard"],"yoast_head":"\nA monastic life of meditation in Palma | +Mallorca magazine<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"+Mallorca: Cloistered monasteries and convents in Palma.
