About

Es Baluard sits inside a bastion of Palma's Renaissance walls, on Plaça Porta de Santa Catalina. It alternates a permanent collection of modern and contemporary art, including Balearic work, with temporary exhibitions. It is a good pick for a rainy or very hot day and pairs well with a stroll through the old town. A museum guide mentions admission under €6 with day-based offers; conditions can change.
