Public building formerly used to store cereals and legumes. It is currently an art center and art program that schedules temporary exhibitions, of approximately one month's duration, with the aim of promoting local and national art, as well as introducing new artists.
The current building was built by order of Jaume II, King of Mallorca, in 1279 as hospital for fishermen and sailors placed under quarantine. A chapel was also built in order to shelter people’s souls, and also a prison. Subsequently, the tower was built to defend and watch the coast and to protect the sheltered. At the end of the 16th century the tower stopped working as a hospital. The chapel remained under religious authority, whereas the tower was kept under the authoriy of a “batle” (mayor). According to the weapon’s inventory, in the tower there was an artillery piece with a weight of 17 or 18 quintals, a capacity for 5 pounds of powder, and several cannon balls. At the beginning of the 19th century the figure of the “batle” (mayor) was removed and the army took charge of the custody and defense of the area. Therefore the army occupied the tower. On the 16th December 1868, Archduke Ludwig Salvator of Austria purchased the plot, which appears on any of the illustrations of his magnum opus, Die Balearen. After several transfers, the castle lastly was taken over by the Fundació Illes Balears which has restored it and keeps it in an optimal state.
The magnificient estate of Son Mas, located on the top of a hill, rules over the valley of the town of Andratx. After the conquest, this estate emerged from the merging of the Islamic hamlets of Buendía y Cornuatera (Mount Cornador). It faces Mount Cornador in the north, the Libio hamlet (Son Luís and Sa Juvera) in the east, Sa Coma stream in the south, and the town of Andratx in the west. Currently the estate functions as the Town Hall of Andratx.
It is one of the most spectacular and emblematic spots of the municipality. For that reason, the Cultural Heritage Departmet, ruled by Katia Rouarch (PI), has decided to fully restore it and to leave it like new. Built in 1784, it can be observed from almost everywhere in Andratx, besides it offers excellent views over the region. It is the only public mill of the three flour mills existing in the area. It was partially restored seven years ago, but in 2012 a strong storm damaged it and destroyed the “capell”, among other elements. With considerable assistance from Consell de Mallorca, it has now been fully restored. With a cost of 12,000 Euros funded by both entities, besides of its patrimonial value, the mill is also a great tourist attraction. Moreover, in the short-tem it is also planned to restore the whole plot of Sa Planeta, including the road and the signage of the area. The Cultural Heritage Department organizes different visits with the pupils of the municipality in order to show its magnificent location, the working of the flour mills and the history of the surroundings.
The impressive structure of the “Torre de Sa Mola” is located 80 meters above sea level, over the peninsula of La Mola. A military construction from the 15th century, it is part of the intrincate net of watchtowers used to protect the island from the pirates that devastated Mallorca between the 15th and 17th centuries. Also known as “Torre de Sant Carles” and “Torre Vella d’Andratx”, the tower was built in 1590 as part of the system of coastal towers designed by Joan Binimelis. It was based on a system of codes and signs that quickly prevented the population from the arrival of pirates. At the end of 16th century “La Torre de Sa Mola” was equipped with two pieces of artillery in order to defend the population. This defense mechanism was used until the end of the 19th century, when the tower was definitely abandoned as documented by Archduke Ludwig Salvator of Austria. Currently ,the impressive presence of “Torre de Sa Mola”, with a width of 15 meters and a height of 11 meters, offers the visitor magnificent views, and keeps watching over the peninsula from the green space of “Carrer Ullastre”, at the residential area of La Mola.
The building is located at the very heart of the village: the square Plaça d’Espanya. This eclectic-historicist building was created by Miquel Dalmau, in 1882. The lower section of the façade is clad in Majorcan marble. The upper part of the building boasts a clock and an octagonal zinc shrine, housing a bell, and crowned with a weather vane. Is was inaugurated on January 27th 1884. When you access the building, on you left you can see the old shield of the city of Llucmajor, dating from 1626.
Sculptural ensemble made in bronze; it represents the infant Jaume (who would be the future Jaume IV), son of King Jaume III, holding the lifeless body of his father and a flag of the ancient Kingdom of Mallorca. The Battle of Llucmajor is the most important battle in the history of the Kingdom of Mallorca. It took place on October 25, 1349 in Llucmajor, in the place known since then as Camp de sa Batalla (the battlefield). In this combat, the troops of Pedro IV of Aragon defeated those of Jaume III of Mallorca. After the defeat, Pedro IV incorporated the kingdom of Mallorca to the crown of Aragon.
