The town of Inca has unveiled a new urban space with the opening of Plaça Antoni Pons, located between Avinguda d’Alcúdia and Carrer dels Jocs. The square features green areas and children’s playgrounds and has been designed as an open and welcoming meeting point for residents and families.

The inauguration will be marked by a festive programme, including entertainment activities for children and families, followed by an official ceremony attended by the Mayor of Inca, Virgilio Moreno, members of the municipal council and relatives of Antoni Pons.

This new public space pays tribute to Antoni Pons Sastre (1919–1998), former mayor of Inca and a prominent figure in Mallorca’s cultural, political and media landscape.

Inca Opens a New Public Square Honouring Antoni Pons, a Key Cultural and Civic Figure

Born in Moscari, Antoni Pons maintained a lifelong connection with Inca, where he pursued most of his professional and personal career. Trained as a printer, he became a respected journalist and mentor, collaborating for decades with newspapers, magazines and local radio stations.

His cultural contribution was wide-ranging: as a poet, performer, actor and playwright, he achieved major success with the play Son Poncella (1952), now regarded as a classic of regional theatre. He also played a key role in promoting concerts and cultural initiatives that enriched the city’s cultural life.

As a public servant, he served as Mayor of Inca during two terms, leading transformative projects related to infrastructure, public services, sports facilities and local media. Antoni Pons is remembered as a deeply committed and influential figure whose legacy continues to shape contemporary Inca.
