Museu Diocesà
+34 971 71 31 33
Museu Diocesà is the diocesan museum in central Palma, housed in the historic Episcopal Palace beside the Cathedral; it presents a compact, well-curated collection of Mallorcan and Catalan religious art from the medieval period through the Baroque, including altarpieces, polychrome sculptures and liturgical objects that illuminate the island's ecclesiastical history.
What Makes It Special
The museum's setting inside the Palau Episcopal—with intimate period rooms and chapels—allows visitors to see altarpieces and wooden sculptures up close in a context that feels closer to their original ecclesiastical surroundings than a typical white-cube gallery.
Insider Tips
Visit in the morning for a quieter experience and natural light on the artworks; allow 45–60 minutes for the collection and note the historic building has limited wheelchair access, so contact the museum in advance if you need assistance.
