The historic center of Palma was declared Historic-Artistic Grouping in 1964, and is classified as a Bé d'Interès Cultural (Property of Cultural Interest), protection that affects the entire city within the old walled perimeter. It is an urban complex of Roman origins, with a mainly Islamic street layout, dominated by Gothic and Baroque constructions with important interventions in the 19th and 20th centuries. |
