Jorn Utzon and Mallorca: Can Lis and Can Feliz, two of his poetic architectural works on the island Jorn Utzon was one of the most relevant architects of the twentieth century. Born in 1918 in Copenhagen, Denmark, he studied in his native country and neighbouring Sweden, later furthering his knowledge in other countries such as France, Morocco, the US and Mexico. One of Utzon's most famous works, which took up a good part of his professional career, is the Sydney Opera House, which he worked on between 1956 and 1966. The work turned Utzon into the most exalted example of the architectural movement known as the Third Generation. Utzon decided to build a house in Mallorca in order to retire there in 1971. Can Lis, as this house on the cliffs of Portopetro was called, became an emblematic place over time for architecture students and professionals. In 1994, he built a new house farther from the coast. This building, called Can Feliz, provided a new refuge in S'Horta, Felanitx from which he could also contemplate the sea under the attentive gaze of the imposing Santueri Castle.

Formerly the residence of the Archduke Ludwig Salvatore of Austria. Lovely views from this old Mallorcan estate of the coastline, and 'sa Foradada' on the Tramuntana coast. Son Marroig in the municipality of Deià is another farmstead the a Archduke Luis Salvador purchased and he restored the old house, conserved the fortified sixteenth-century tower and added Italian-style extensions.

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.

Pol·lèntia is the only Roman city that can presently be visited in Mallorca. It is also the best example of the Romanisation of the Balearic Islands, its ruins telling us of the pax romana times. Excavation work in Pol·lèntia began around 1920 and continues to this day. The part that is open to the public includes a small fragment of the wall, the ruins of three mansions and a street with an arcade. The area can be accessed via Sa Portella. Also worth a mention is its Roman theatre, the only still preserved in the Balearic Islands. It was built in the 1st Century and had a seating capacity of almost two thousand persons. Today a portion of the tiers and the stage can still be appreciated. An interesting complement to the visit is a trip to the Museu Monogràfic de Pol·lèntia, (Monographic Museum of Pol·lèntia) where valuable pieces found during the excavation works are on display.

The public farmstead of Son Real was purchased by the Balearic Government in 2002 to preserve its natural and ethnological values and prehistoric sites. Son Real is located on a stretch of coast between Can Picafort and Son Serra de Marina in the municipality of Santa Margalida. A variety of elements on its 379 hectares make it an exceptional, unique value. Alongside traditional farming practices, which today are biological, autochthonous farm animals are also raised. A number of different buildings and digs have demonstrated the ethnological values the farmstead has boasted from medieval times until now. Furthermore, joining the above is the large number of archaeological remains from different cultures. The farmsteal's natural beauty includes almost 200 metres of shoreline on the virgin coast in this enclave in Mallorca. The Balearic Government has been effecting improvements in both the architecture as well as in the preparation of facilities for visitors' enjoyment, which includes an office with explanatory material to attend to the public. Under the auspices of the Ministry of Tourism, the Foundation for Sustainable Development in the Balearic Islands is in charge of managing this publically-owned property.

The Capocorb Vell complex consists of a nucleus of three circular and two square talayots, as well as several surrounding constructions and a series of talayots and other types of buildings on its periphery. The Talayotic people were ungathered and only archaeology can provide data about their life. This complex was studied by the archaeologists L. Ch. Watelin, French and Albert Mayr, German, although the first scientific excavations were carried out in the decade of 1910-20 by Josep Colominas Roca under the patronage of the distinguished Hispanic prehistorian Luis Pericot. Capocorb Vell is unique in the western Mediterranean and by Government Decree dated June 3, 1931 was declared a Historic-Artistic Monument.

Son Fornés archaeological site is located at 2,5km from the village of Montuïri (Ma-3200). The first excavation was undertaken in 1975. Since that year, and until 2011, a further fourteen archaeological campaigns have documented three periods: Talayotic, Postalayotic and Roman periods. All detailed information regarding the archaeological site can be found at Son Fornés Arqueològic Museum, a monographic museum located in a mill called 'l'en Fraret', in the village of Montuïri located in Ma-3220 road connecting the town with Sant Joan.
