The Plaza Mayor of Palma de Mallorca is located in the downtown district of the city of Palma de Mallorca, a few meters from other significant monuments such as the church of San Miguel or the Principal theater.

The Plaza Mayor of Palma de Mallorca is located in the downtown area of the city, very close to the Church of Santa Eulalia and the town hall of the Balearic capital. The streets of San Miguel, Jaime II, Colón and Sindicato are born from the Plaza Mayor, which extend to the expansion of the city.

The space occupied by the Plaza Mayor of Palma de Mallorca is that of the old convent of San Felipe Neri and some neighboring houses.

Until 1823 the square was the seat of the Inquisition. Once the headquarters of the Inquisition was demolished, it took ten years before the works began on the first wing, which was completed in 1838. The works continued until well into the 20th century, with the construction of an underground car park and some commercial galleries.

It has a rectangular plan and a porticoed perimeter, on which three or four-story buildings rise. Leaving towards the Plaza del Marqués del Palmer, at number 1 is the El Águila building, which shares the metallic structure of the lower body with Can Rey, two buildings from the early 20th century, built following the model of Catalan Modernism, with a abundant decoration on the facades, where the polychrome ceramics of the Mallorcan factory La Roqueta stand out.
