The Mallorca Council and the Diocese of Mallorca are strengthening their commitment in 2026 to preserving and promoting the heritage associated with the Feast of the Assumption through an extensive outreach programme that combines academic research, audiovisual productions, digital resources and a wide range of cultural activities across the island. The initiative builds on a long-term programme dedicated to safeguarding and showcasing the Virgin’s bier monuments, one of Mallorca’s most distinctive examples of religious and cultural heritage.
The programme introduces new scholarly publications documenting significant historical monuments while also producing audiovisual features that highlight recently restored heritage sites. At the same time, additional digital resources provide detailed historical and artistic information about reclining Virgin sculptures and the ceremonial furnishings associated with the Assumption tradition, making this unique heritage more accessible to the public.

Mallorca Council and the Diocese promote the cultural dissemination of the Assumption feast with new studies, audiovisual resources and island-wide activities
The 2026 edition includes 81 monuments open to visitors throughout Mallorca, with locations in both Palma and municipalities across the rest of the island. This year’s programme restores the inclusion of the Santa Eugènia monument while reinforcing several sites added to the official Assumption route in recent years. Most displays will be open to the public on 14 and 15 August, with many remaining accessible until 22 August in line with the liturgical calendar.
The cultural programme is complemented by lectures, artistic installations, musical performances, dance events, liturgical celebrations and guided heritage activities designed to encourage a broader appreciation of this tradition. Through this initiative, the Mallorca Council and the Diocese continue to strengthen the protection, research and public promotion of one of the island’s most valuable cultural and religious traditions, ensuring its preservation and transmission for future generations.
