It lies inland, about {{convert\|6\|km\|0\|abbr=on}} west of its port, [[Port de Pollença]]. ==History== {{Expand section\|date=May 2010}} The origin of the name "Pollença" ~~comes~~can be traced back ~~from~~to the name of the Roman settlement of "[[Pollentia (Majorca)\|Pollentia]]", the excavated remains of which lie several kilometers away, at the modern municipality of Alcúdia. Throughout its history, Pollença was a site of significant military confrontations, due to its prominent geographical position. From resisting the Christian conquest and the expedition of King [[James I of Aragon]], to becoming the last stand of King [[James III of Majorca]], the area witnessed intense conflicts.
