Can Crespí

Monuments | Palma de Mallorca

This house dates back to the 18th century. In 1818 it belonged to Antònia and later came to be owned by the Crespí de Santa Maria family. Rosa Ribera Carbonell (1834-1924), the widow of the soldier Miquel Villalonga Gelabert, who was in turn the uncle of the father of the writer Llorenç Villalonga, lived here for many years; she is seen as the inspiration for Obdúlia Montcada, from Villalonga’s novel, Mort de Dama.
