Architectural history and culture in Capdepera

Construction of Castell de Capdepera began in the 14th century on the orders of King Jaume II of Mallorca. The castle sits on a hill above the town and offers views of Mallorca’s east coast; on clear days, the view extends as far as Menorca. The grounds preserve defensive towers, walls, old paved streets and the Chapel of Sant Joan, built in the 14th century. The castle is classified as a Bien de Interés Cultural, a cultural asset of cultural interest. Here, architectural history, fortifications and views from an elevated position come together.

The Casa del Governador is located within the castle grounds. It also houses the Museu de la Llata, a visit to which is included with admission to the monument. The Casa del Governador is also home to the Col·lecció d'Art Sacre. It comprises more than 120 religious works of art, from the Romanesque period to contemporary art, and is presented to residents and visitors as an open cultural heritage. Check the latest information on opening hours and tickets before your visit.

The tradition of weaving sa llata is alive in Capdepera: women still meet to preserve it and pass it on to younger generations. Casal Can Melis, also known as Centre Melis Cursach, housed the Melis Cursach pharmacy from 1916 to 1973. Both examples offer insight into different aspects of local history: a continuing craft tradition and the building’s former use as a pharmacy.

The parish church of Sant Bartomeu also makes its own architectural statement. It was built in the second half of the 19th century. Its façade is Neoclassical in style, and a dome crowns the bell tower. If you would like to include historical and cultural topics in Capdepera alongside the coastal landscape when planning your holiday, you can make them a focus in their own right.
