Es Baluard places contemporary art within the setting of the former Renaissance walls. The relationship between historic defences and present-day creativity is part of the experience before you even enter an exhibition. Notice how the museum opens towards the bay and Cathedral. From the terraces, compare the cityscape with the architecture framing it: heritage and contemporary Palma meet here.

Choose the right Cathedral ticket
Book the Cathedral interior if it fits your interests and schedule; the terraces are a different option and not a shelter from rain. Check for changes due to services and whether your chosen ticket includes the Museum of Sacred Art.
A market, after checking opening times
Mercat de l'Olivar offers a central stop for shopping and food. Check both market hours and the stall you want: not every business operates like an all-day restaurant. Save longer walks for a break in the weather.
