Plaça del Mercat
Plaça del Mercat is one of the most iconic and lively meeting points in the centre of Palma, serving as a natural link between La Rambla, Unió Street and Jaume III Avenue. Its strategic location makes it a key crossroads within the city’s historic and commercial core.
The square is surrounded by buildings of outstanding historical and architectural value, including the former Gran Hotel, a landmark of Mallorcan Modernism built in 1903 and now home to CaixaForum, as well as Can Casasayas, a modernist residential complex completed in 1911. The presence of the courthouse further reinforces the institutional character of the area.
This architectural heritage blends seamlessly with a vibrant urban lifestyle. Traditional bakeries and pastry shops, restaurants, tapas bars and cafés with terraces coexist alongside the nearby Teatre Principal, a cultural landmark offering opera, concerts and dance performances. Together, these elements make Plaça del Mercat one of the most sought-after locations in Palma’s historic centre.
