The facade of the Basilica of Sant Francesc dominates this square with a towering, rose-windowed wall of weathered golden stone. This church anchors the site because King Jaume the Second founded it in the early fourteenth century to house the Franciscan order. A massive marble statue of Fray Junipero Serra stands in the center of the plaza, commemorating the missionary who was born on this island before heading to the Americas. The quiet stone space holds the weight of his controversial legacy today.
