The Aula de la Mar is a marine interpretation centre in Palma dedicated to environmental education and the protection of marine life.

Hands-on Marine Discovery

The Aula de la Mar positions itself as a place of encounter with the Balearic Islands' marine environment. Its permanent exhibition explains the aquatic flora and fauna of the Mediterranean in an engaging, educational way — with exhibits that visitors are actively encouraged to touch. The focus falls on the importance of the marine ecosystem, its protection, and its conservation. The centre caters to school groups and the general public alike, with activities tailored to the knowledge level of each audience.

A Historic Industrial Building

The building that houses the centre was originally part of an industrial oil-refining complex. Known historically as Can Salas, it now shares its walls with the Molinar municipal library, a video library, and a children's area — all set within the well-kept Park Sa Petrolera.

Location & Surroundings

The Aula de la Mar is located at Carrer de Francesc Femenias 1 in Palma, in the Platja de Palma i Pla de Sant Jordi neighbourhood, right next to Park Sa Petrolera and just across from Portixol. The proximity to the coast makes itself felt inside too: a reading room looks out over the sea.
