The Biblioteca de Cultura Artesana is a public library in Palma, housed within the historic Edificio La Misericordia.

Collection & Services

The BCA offers lending, room use, and computer reservations. Its collection spans books, magazines, videos, and music. If you can't find a particular title, you're welcome to submit a purchase suggestion, and an interlibrary loan service is available for titles held at other libraries. A dedicated children's corner and a separate study room round off what's on offer. The library also runs a regular programme of activities, including workshops, a book club, and talks, as well as guided visits.

Building & Garden

The Edificio La Misericordia — a building of real historical and architectural distinction — houses two areas: the library itself and a separate study room. Large windows flood the space with natural light and look out onto an adjoining garden. This sculpture park is dotted with works of art and is dominated by a remarkably large fig tree that many visitors single out as a highlight. The garden is widely regarded as a tranquil retreat in the heart of the city.

The Neighbourhood

The library sits in the Centre district of Palma, right on Via Roma 1 within the Edificio La Misericordia — a central location that's easy to reach on foot.

Atmosphere & Study Room

The library is known as a calm, focused place to work and read. The study room operates an extended special timetable during exam periods. Some visitors note that space can become tight during peak demand, and the limited number of toilets is occasionally flagged as a drawback.
