The cultural programme for Holy Week 2026 in Mallorca begins with two exhibitions at the La Misericòrdia Cultural Centre, one of Palma’s most emblematic cultural venues. The exhibitions bring together brotherhoods from across the island, photographers and musical groups, offering an artistic and heritage-focused perspective on one of Mallorca’s most deeply rooted traditions.

Organised by the Consell de Mallorca, the exhibitions form part of the programme leading up to the processions and religious events that will mark Holy Week in Palma and across the island’s municipalities.
