In Palma in Majorca, one of the Balearic Islands, you’ll find numerous examples of modernist architecture. Discover them through some of its most outstanding buildings, including works by architects such as Antoni Gaud\u00ed, Llu\u00eds Domenech and Joan Rubi\u00f3 i Bellver.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Modernism<\/a><\/p>\n

A stroll around the historic quarter of Palma will soon reveal the influence of Modernism in its streets. You can either explore them at your own pace or take part in a guided visit.<\/p>\n

One of the most representative Modernist constructions is the Gran Hotel, a mature work by Llu\u00eds Domenech located in the Plaza Weyler square and today the site of the CaixaForum cultural centre and exhibition venue. The building dates from the early 20th century and had a great influence on the local architects, who interpreted Catalan Modernism in their own way, thereby giving rise to their own distinctive style.<\/p>\n

\"Modernism<\/a><\/p>\n

You’ll find examples of the style known as ‘Majorcan art nouveau’ as you stroll around the area near the squares of El Mercat (Can Casasayas, also known as Pensi\u00f3n La Menorquina) and Cort (Can Corbella), and as you go down Calle Colom street (Casa de las Medias, Can Forteza Rey and the shop El \u00c0guila). Continuing in this direction you’ll come to Palma Cathedral, La Seu. Its interior, in whose reform Antoni Gaud\u00ed and his assistant Rubi\u00f3 i Bellver took part, there are clear examples of Modernist decoration.<\/p>\n

From La Seu, if you continue towards the sea along Antonio Maura avenue, you’ll come to Can Mulet and Can Salas, whose fa\u00e7ades display a more austere style of Modernism. In front of the Real Club N\u00e1utico de Palma, in Sagrera avenue, stands the Can Coll building, with an interesting frame around the main doorway.<\/p>\n

Majorcan Modernism can also be seen outside the historic quarter. There are examples in the surroundings of the Plaza de Espa\u00f1a square, in the area of El Ensanche, the Sa Feixina Park and in Joan Mir\u00f3 avenue, and the areas of Santa Catalina and El Terreno.<\/p>\n

Things to remember:<\/strong>
\nThe guided visits start from the Plaza Cort square, and are available in Spanish and German. Reservations are required; call +34 971720720.
\nIf you want to visit these attractions at your own pace, the tourist offices in Palma will provide you with a map which identifies the most important examples of Modernist architecture.
\nThe route around the Modernist buildings in the historic centre can be done at a leisurely pace in about two hours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
