The Supreme Court ratifies that the Jerónimas are the owners of the monastery of Santa Isabel de Palma
The sentence is final and cannot be appealed
PalmaThe Supreme Court has dismissed the appeal on points of law filed by the Bishopric of Mallorca against the ruling that recognized the Hieronymite nuns of the monastery of Santa Isabel de Palma as owners of the property. Thus, the high court considers the decision issued by the Provincial Court of Palma in May 2024 to be final.
The ruling confirms the ruling of the Provincial Court that the lawsuit filed by the religious community exists and determined that the nuns are the legitimate owners of the Monastery of Santa Isabel, which they have occupied and managed since 1485.
The president of the federation and prioress of the monastery, Ángeles Sanz, has expressed satisfaction for a decision that, as she said, puts an end to a controversy initiated in 2014 and subsequently maintained by the current Bishop, Sebastià Taltavull. The nun is confident that this judicial pronouncement will definitively close a conflict that has pitted the community against the Diocese for more than a decade.
