During one weekend, the Open House Palma 2021 architecture festival will open the doors of more than 70 buildings and spaces to the public. This first edition of the architecture festival for non-architects will take place on the weekend of November 6 and 7, 2021. Citizens will have the opportunity to admire some of the most unique architectural works and buildings in Palma. Buildings and spaces that are usually closed or hidden from the neighbors and that through this event they will be able to discover for free.

Open House Palma 2021

Best examples of architecture in Palma

The common denominator of the more than 70 buildings confirmed for this first Open House Palma is that they represent some of the best examples of architecture and design in the city. The festival aims to offer an alternative to the more touristy Palma, which is represented on postcards. In this sense, it aspires to show that not only the historic center houses architectural jewels, but that they are spread throughout the length and breadth of the capital. All of them are part of Palma’s architectural heritage.

Among the buildings and spaces that can be visited are Can Morell, Casal Solleric, Castell de Bellver, Edifici Moneo (Fundació Miró Mallorca), the Son Espases hospital, Torre Asima, hotels such as Armadams or Araxa, social housing projects, the Palau of Congresses, etc. The visits will be guided by previously trained volunteers from the event.

The Open House Palma 2021 is a charitable and non-profit initiative. It is organized by the Open House Palma Cultural Association, which seeks to promote and disseminate the city’s architectural heritage among its neighbors. In this sense, the organizers recall that culture and heritage are the bases of collective memory. The association is made up of professionals of various profiles associated with architecture, art history, cultural heritage management, design and communication.

During the weekend of November 6 and 7, 2021, the 73 most representative buildings and spaces of all the city’s districts will open their doors. Here is the initial list of participants:
