This house dates from the first half of the fourteenth century. It was owned, successively, by the Despuig, Belloto, Teatins, Alorda, and Weyler families. In 1911 Valerià Weyler Nicolau sold it to the Casa Bressol del Nin Jesús. Since 1990 it has been the headquarters of Asociación ARCA. The façade contains a memorial stone to General Weyler; on the first floor there are three ajimeces, with four smaller ajimeces on the upper floor. Inside there is a central courtyard, with segmental arches with the anagram of Jesus in the capitals.
Congregation that settled in Sineu in 1864. The oratory or chapel of the convent is a neo-Gothic building that was inaugurated in 1892. It has a doorway with a pointed arch, with four plain archivolts that, like the jambs, are free of ornamentation, with the lower part made of stone. Above the portal, a line of impost gives way to a rose window, the stained glass windows of which form the M of the anagram of Mary. The crowning presents vegetal motifs, two lateral pinnacles and a belfry topped by a cross. To the right of the chapel, marked with the number 19, rises the facade of the convent itself; it has three floors and a lintel doorway. To the left of the chapel is the school building, which was inaugurated on June 19, 1927. The classrooms of the building, currently unoccupied, are distributed on three floors. The educational work of the nuns lasted almost to the present day, until their eight-grade school became a public school.
Old medieval house which in 1606 passed into the hands of the Genovese jurist, J. Francesco Pavisi, who rebuilt it in the Manierist style, closer to the owner’s origins than the traditional city architecture. The traditional layout was maintained in the courtyard. Alterations were carried out in the 19th century when it was converted into a boarding house.
Palace dating from the XVIII century with a magnificent stairway and lovely gardens. Located in the township of Bunyola, this estate includes an ancient Mallorcan house boasting one of the loveliest gardens on the island. It was purchased by the Ministry of the Environment and the Council of Mallorca in 2002, and it was slated to be converted into a major international environmental centre. It is also a piece of island history, which spans a period between the 15th and 19th centuries. It's clear historical value led the government of the Balearic Islands to protect it by declaring it an Asset of Cultural Interest. Its gardens just beckon you to get lost with a great book in your hands, to retreat from the noise of the world for a spell just as the driving force behind the most important refurbishment of the home, Antoni Despuig i Dameto (1745-1813), must have done. Despuig turned the estate into a magnificent classical palace with an Italianate air whose ground floor houses an important art collection. The history of Raixa, nestled at the foot of the Sierra de Tramuntana (Tramuntana mountain range), dates back to the presence of the Muslims on Mallorca, who chose this site for founding their ARaixa farmstead because of its plentiful water and fertile lands. Next to it is another estate, Biniatzar, which is said to have been the exemplary olive-producing farmstead during the Islamic times. After the Catalans conquered the island in the 13th century, Raixa was passed among a series of owners, such as the Zaforteza-Tagamanent family, until it fell into the hands of the Despuig family in the 17th century.

In 1523 this house belonged to Francesc Burgues, the royal procurator. On 26 November 1541 the emperor Charles V stayed here, after the failure of the military expedition against Algiers. It was the most expensive house in the 1576 property valuation. In 1636 it belonged to Nicolau Burgues and it currently belongs to the Blanes family. A great semicircular arched doorway leads into the vestibule area, with the staircase to the right. A segmental arch with the coat-of-arms of the Burgues family carved in the capitals provides access to the courtyard, with the coat-of-arms of the Blanes family to the left.
