Son Marroig, Historical fortified house in Deià, Spain.
Son Marroig sits on cliffs overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, with a defensive tower and a neoclassical temple made of Carrara marble.
Archduke Ludwig Salvator purchased the property in 1877 and transformed it into his residence while documenting Mallorcan culture through his seven-volume work.
The house museum displays numerous artifacts, including the Archduke's personal collection of photographs, paintings, and manuscripts documenting 19th-century Balearic life.
Visitors can access the estate Monday through Saturday from 09:30 to 19:00 in summer and 10:00 to 18:00 in winter, with entry tickets costing 4 euros.
The property features direct access to Na Foradada peninsula, a natural rock formation extending into the sea with a large hole through its center.

Mallorca offers diverse landscapes where fine sandy beaches and wild coves surrounded by limestone cliffs succeed one another. On the northwest coast, Sa Calobra marks the spectacular mouth of the Torrent de Pareis, while Cala Figuera nestles between the rocky walls of Cape Formentor. To the southeast, near Santanyí, Caló del Moro and the Mondragó natural park reveal other facets of the Mediterranean coast. The island's architectural heritage reflects centuries of history. In Palma, the Gothic cathedral from the 14th century dominates the port with its nave standing 144 feet (44 meters) high and 61 stained glass windows. The round Bellver Castle, built in 1311, is perched on the heights of the city. The Drach Caves in Porto Cristo reveal an underground world spanning approximately 0.75 miles (1.2 km), including Lake Martel, one of Europe’s largest underground lakes. The Alfàbia Gardens in Sóller preserve Moorish hydraulic art from the 13th century, while the Roman site of Pol·lèntia in Alcúdia dates back to the 1st century BC. To the north, the s'Albufera natural park conserves 4,200 acres (1,700 hectares) of wetlands hosting over 250 species of migratory birds.
