Manacor History Museum
About This Museum
Just a stone's throw from the heart of Manacor, away from the bustle of the town's famous pearl workshops, you'll find our local history museum. It’s a place that feels less like a formal institution and more like a series of conversations with the past. You can spend an afternoon wandering from Roman relics discovered in local fields to the tools that built our agricultural heritage. It tells the layered story of this part of Mallorca, far beyond what you might expect.
Collection Highlights
Don't miss the genuine Roman *tabula* hospitalis, a bronze agreement that makes ancient history feel immediate. The exhibits on traditional shoe-making and furniture craft really give you a sense of the trades that built modern Manacor.
Visitor Information
It's easy to find on the road towards Cales de Mallorca. Pop in to escape the midday heat; it's a wonderfully cool and quiet spot that provides a perfect break from the beach.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a former school, the building itself is a classic example of early 20th-century Majorcan civic architecture, with its simple, sturdy limestone walls and shuttered windows.
