Palma is once again preparing for one of its major architectural events. To mark the sixth edition of Open House Palma, the Consell de Mallorca will open the doors of six of its most emblematic buildings on 13, 14 and 15 November 2026. It is a chance to explore spaces that are normally closed to the public, with free guided tours.
This year’s festival focuses on the relationship between Palma and water, under the theme “City of Water”, inviting residents and visitors to discover more about the city’s architecture, history and heritage.
Six Consell de Mallorca buildings you can visit
The island council is once again taking part in the initiative, offering a route through six buildings of great historical, cultural and architectural value. The guided tours will reveal hidden corners and spaces that are not usually open to the public.
Here are the participating buildings and their opening times:
Palau del Consell
One of the most prominent buildings belonging to the island council, the Palau del Consell is also one of the festival’s most visited venues, attracting almost 1,000 visitors a day in previous editions.
It will be open to visitors on Saturday 14 November, during two time slots:
- Morning: 10 am to 2 pm.
- Afternoon: 4 pm to 7 pm.
Centre Cultural la Misericòrdia
Mallorca’s largest civil building will open its doors on Sunday 15 November, from 10 am to 2 pm. This is an opportunity to explore the architectural complex and its courtyards, which form part of Palma’s historical heritage.
Teatre Principal de Palma
One of the city’s most important cultural venues is also included in the programme. The Teatre Principal can be visited on Saturday 14 November, from 10 am to 2 pm.
Museu de Mallorca
Housed in the historic Ca la Gran Cristiana building, the Museu de Mallorca will welcome visitors on Friday 13 November, from 4 pm to 7 pm, and on Saturday 14 November, from 10 am to 2 pm.
Museu Marítim de Mallorca
The Museu Marítim de Mallorca will also take part in the festival, with visits available on Friday 13 November, from 4 pm to 7 pm, and on Saturday 14 November, from 10 am to 2 pm.
Tirme Environmental Technologies Park
The programme also includes a visit to the facilities of Tirme’s Environmental Technologies Park, where visitors can learn more about waste management and sustainability. It will be open to the public on Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 November, from 10 am to 1.30 pm.
Free visits with no advance booking required
One of the advantages of this initiative is that no booking or prior registration is required. Admission is on a first-come, first-served basis. Once at each building, volunteers will inform visitors of the approximate waiting time for the guided tours.
All the venues included in the programme are also accessible to people with reduced mobility.
By taking part in the festival, the Consell de Mallorca reaffirms its commitment to transparency, public participation and the promotion of the island’s heritage, bringing some of its most representative buildings closer to the public.
An opportunity to see Palma from a different perspective and discover places that are an integral part of its history and identity.
