Theater Principal de Palma

The new theatre was built in 1857 with such bad luck that one year after it was opened the building was destroyed in a fire. The restoration got underway immediately with the same architects and criteria as the first one, and it was opened in 1860. It was refurbished in 1895, adding a new floor to the main body of the façade. The building’s latest remodelling was finished in 2007.

The façade today actually serves as a curtain wall and does not correspond with the floors; it is arranged into three parts. The relief on the pediment bearing mythological motifs stands out, as do the seven muses designed by Ricard Anckermann and sculpted by Llorenç Ferrer.
