Llotja de Palma, Gothic merchant exchange in Palma, Spain

The rectangular building features four octagonal towers at its corners and ten smaller buttresses supporting the massive stone structure.

Between 1420 and 1452, architect Guillem Sagrera constructed this merchant exchange during Mallorca's peak period of Mediterranean maritime trade.

The internal space contains spiral columns and ribbed vaults that demonstrate the sophisticated architectural techniques of fifteenth-century Gothic design.

The exhibition space opens Tuesday through Sunday from 17:30 to 21:00, allowing visitors to explore temporary art displays within medieval walls.

The building served as a storage facility for weapons and goods during the War of Independence before transforming into an art gallery.

What to do in Majorca: natural sites, historic heritage, and activities

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.
