The Palau del Consell de Mallorca Records the Highest Number of Visitors in Its History

The main groups participating in the visits included educational centres from across Mallorca—particularly 5th and 6th grade primary students and 9th grade (3rd ESO) secondary students—as well as senior citizen associations and various social organizations such as AMADIP, Casal Petit, Projecte Naüm, UCR, SAD Comunitari i Preventiu, day centres, Fundació Patronat Obrer, OFIM Palma, and neighbourhood centres, among others. The tours were conducted primarily in Catalan, Spanish, and English and were adapted to the specific needs of each group.

The President of the Consell de Mallorca, Llorenç Galmés, emphasised: “The Palau is the home of all Mallorcans, and opening its doors is a way to bring the institution closer to the people. Learning about its history and operations helps us better understand the role of the Consell in the daily life of the island.”

The guided tour of the Palau lasts approximately one hour and includes iconic spaces such as the main entrance and grand staircase, the noble floor, the audience chamber, and the plenary hall. One of the most popular features among visitors is the old air-raid shelter located in the basement, which forms part of the historical heritage restored and valued by the institution.

Throughout 2024, Palau received 6,561 visitors (3,481 schoolchildren and 3,080 adults) across 170 guided tours. The high turnout in just the first half of 2025 highlights a growing interest in discovering the institutional and historical heritage of the Consell de Mallorca.
