Description
The Barómetre de Gaspar Bennazar is a meteorological column on the Plaça d'Espanya in Palma — a public structure that functions simultaneously as a barometer, thermometer and hygrometer.
Three instruments in a single column
The barometric column brings together a separate measuring instrument on each of its faces: a barometer, a thermometer and a hygrometer. Every side is dedicated to a different aspect of weather observation — an unusual concept in a compact, upright form.
The work of architect Gaspar Bennazar Moner
The column was designed by Gaspar Bennazar Moner (1869–1933), a prolific Mallorcan architect who left a distinctive mark on Palma. His authorship is well established, with the year of creation variously cited as 1910 or 1912.
On the Plaça d'Espanya
The column stands in the middle of the Plaça d'Espanya (Pl. d'Espanya 3, Centre, 07002 Palma) — a bustling square at the heart of the city. It has served as a meeting point for Palmesans and islanders alike for generations.
