Mallorca’s Bellver Castle budget jumps to €324,000

Bellver Castle in Palma, Mallorca, gets a planned €324,000 budget for 2027: the city wants to develop rooms in its City History Museum. That is up from €176,000, even though Palma’s overall culture budget stays at €6.5 million, the same as in 2026. Palma City Council set out the plans on 9 November 2026.

More for galleries, libraries and music

Casal Solleric’s budget rises to more than €502,000 to improve its exhibition programme and the running of the venue. The city’s libraries get €279,000 for books and other needs.

Jazz Palma is allocated €78,000 and the Pop Rock competition €72,000. The council says the events will give local and emerging bands opportunities to perform. It also plans €402,500 for the municipal music band, including instruments.

Pools, courts and sports grants

Palma plans to renovate the Germans Escalas sports centre. The first phase covers repairs to its pools, work on the building’s structure and changes to the changing rooms and gym.

The sports facility in Sant Jordi, Palma, is set to gain two padel courts and a multi-sport court. The city also plans €890,000 in sports grants and €100,000 for the Fira de l’Esport sports fair, up from the €18,150 initially budgeted for 2026.
