Valldemossa is a village and municipality on the island of Majorca, part of the Spanish autonomous community of the Balearic Islands. Valldemossa grew famous for one landmark: The Royal Chartreuse of Jesus of Nazareth, built from the first years of the XIV century, when the mystic and philosopher Ramon LLull was living in this area of Majorca. From 1835, after the government confiscated The Chartreuse to the Christian Order of St Bruno, aiming to rise money for arms during a Civil War, the historic estate was sold to private owners who have housed since several prominent guests. Among the most famous guest were the composer Frédéric Chopin and French writer and pionnering feminist George Sand (who wrote her acclaimed novel "A Winter in Majorca" based on their visit, praising the natural beauty of this island but highly critic about the prejudice and moral vices of native population).
