The church of Sant Miquel Arcàngel was built in the 17th and 18th centuries. The church of Sant Miquel Arcàngel is a building with a central nave, two sides and a transept. It has eight chapels, four on each side. Next to the rectangular presbytery is the Communion chapel, which occupies the length of the presbytery and the altarpiece. On the other side is the sacristy. The façade is simple, facing the square, highlighting the bell tower and the portal. Its style is difficult to define because of the various renovations, it is between baroque and neoclassical.

The exact date on which the construction began is unknown, but it is known that the original church was built before the Papal Bull of Innocent IV.

The Catalan architect Joan Rubiu Bellver, who worked with the world-famous Antoni Gaudu, was commissioned to design this emblematic church in the municipality of Son Servera, although after several changes had been made, it was finally left unfinished. Today we can see elements of Neo-Gothic architecture ??a marked austerity, large windows and rose windows?? and a particularly magical effect due to it being open to the sky. Balearic television issued a report about the history of this temple and its meaning. The documentary was made in 2004 by the journalist Xisco Umbert, from Son Servera, and it explains how and why people decided to make this Church, problems that they led to stop the works and the uses that have been given and give now.

In 1856, the mosque was badly damaged by fire and the Baroque- style ornamental mural on its interior walls probably dates to after the fire in 1859 or 1860. In 2008-2013, its building was re-restored with a grant from the European Union and turned into a Museum of Religions.

An arabic inscription at the entrace of the mosque mentions 1395 as the construction time of the monument, making it the oldest mosque in the country.

Renovated several times, it suffered its greatest damage in 1944, when the minaret and its upper part were hit.
