The Centre Maimó Ben Faraig is an interpretation centre dedicated to Palma's historic Jewish quarter, and also serves as the city's official tourist information point — housed on Carrer de l'Almudaina in the heart of the old town.

Jewish Heritage in the Heart of Palma

The centre is devoted to the history of Palma's Jewish quarter — a legacy that remained largely unknown to many of the city's own residents for centuries. The permanent exhibition explores the medieval Jewish community, their descendants, and Mallorca's Xueta heritage. Some visitors note that a single permanent exhibition can barely scratch the surface of the rich Jewish, converso and Xueta story of Palma — a testament to just how layered and fascinating the subject really is.

Two Attractions Under One Roof

A visit here offers two distinct experiences in one place: the interpretation centre itself, and the official tourist information office for the city of Palma, run by the Ajuntament de Palma.

Location & Surroundings

The centre is located at Carrer de l'Almudaina 9, in the Centre neighbourhood of Palma — just a short walk from the Basílica de Sant Francesc, one of the old town's most iconic landmarks.
