Plaça Major, Central square in Palma de Mallorca, Spain.

The Plaza Mayor extends in a rectangular shape, featuring three and four-story buildings with porticoed ground floors supported by stone columns.

The square emerged after the demolition of the San Felipe Neri convent in 1823, which previously housed the headquarters of the Inquisition.

The open space hosts regular artisan markets where local craftspeople display traditional Mallorcan products, textiles, and handmade goods.

An underground parking facility and shopping galleries beneath the square provide convenient access to the surrounding commercial district.

Four main streets branch out from the square: San Miguel, Jaime II, Colon, and Sindicato, connecting it to major landmarks of Palma.
