Description

Can Corbella is a historic building in the heart of Palma, renowned for its Neo-Mudéjar façade and widely regarded as one of the most architecturally striking structures in the old town.

Architecture & Façade

The building blends Modernisme with the Neo-Mudéjar style — a design language inspired by Moorish architecture — expressed through horseshoe arches and lobed arches, arabesque ornamentation, colourful ceramic tiles, and richly decorated balconies. A distinctive octagonal tower crowns the whole composition. Designed in the late 19th century by architect Nicolau Lliteres, the building brings together three separate structures united behind a single, cohesive façade.

The Neighbourhood

Can Corbella sits in the historic centre of Palma, between Carrer Jaume II and the Plaça de Cort — a lively stretch of the old town set amid pedestrianised streets. The building forms part of Palma's Modernisme Route and is easily reached on foot.
