Description
The Centre d'Història i Cultura Militar de Balears is a military history and culture museum in the heart of Palma, housed in a historic building complete with a courtyard, church, and an old pharmacy.
Temporary Exhibitions and Permanent Displays
The museum keeps its rooms fresh with regularly changing exhibitions covering a wide range of themes — from military history to Egyptian collections and nativity scene displays from around the world. A more recent permanent addition features recreations of a delivery room and a field hospital, complete with historic medical supplies. The building also houses a library of antique books and a historic pharmacy.
The Building: Courtyard, Church and Architecture
The building itself is a reason to visit: a sweeping inner courtyard forms the peaceful heart of the complex, complemented by an accessible church. The premises formerly served as a convent and later as a military hospital — a history that is reflected in parts of the collection.
