Raixa, Manor estate in Bunyola, Spain

The Raixa estate encompasses a mansion with stone walls, a central courtyard, and terraced gardens extending across the southern slopes of Sa Muntanyeta mountain.

Originally an Islamic farmstead, Raixa transformed into a neoclassical villa in 1806 under Cardinal Antoni Despuig i Dameto, who collected antiquities from Italy.

The Serra Tramuntana Centre at Raixa presents exhibitions about Mallorca's agricultural heritage and traditional landscape management techniques.

Visitors can explore multiple garden levels, including the Orange Tree Garden, Gallery Garden with fountains, and Entrance Garden featuring a decorative pond.

The estate contains a monumental water tank built in 1753 that supplied water to the agricultural lands and maintained the extensive garden system.
