Es Baluard Museu d'Art Contemporani de Palma
Plaça de la Porta de Santa Catalina, 10, Centre, 07012 Palma, Illes Balears, Spain
+34 971 90 82 00
Es Baluard Museu d'Art Contemporani de Palma is Palma’s leading contemporary art museum, set within a dramatic fusion of a 16th‑century fortress and a modern extension. It houses over 800 works — many by Balearic and Spanish 20th‑ and 21st‑century artists — and presents rotating temporary exhibitions alongside educational programmes, a museum shop and café terraces overlooking the old town.
What Makes It Special
The museum’s most striking feature is the melding of historic bastion walls with light‑filled contemporary galleries and rooftop terraces, which together offer exceptional panoramic views of La Seu cathedral, the old town and Palma Bay — an experience that blends art, architecture and landscape.
Insider Tips
Plan your visit for late afternoon to enjoy the golden light from the terraces and quieter galleries; note the museum occupies historic levels and is reported as not wheelchair accessible, so check access information with the museum in advance and allow about 1.5–2 hours to see both the permanent collection and temporary shows.
