Mallorca’s ‘Far’ sculpture back in Parc de la Mar
On Mallorca, Palma’s sculpture ‘Far’ is back in the Parc de la Mar after the city set aside nearly 48,000 euros to restore it. Palma City Council announced its return on 10 November 2026. The work by Josep Maria Sirvent first stood in the same park for the 1999 Palma Universiade.
The restoration aimed to remove damage caused mainly by the passage of time and bring back the sculpture’s original appearance. Sirvent and the technical team involved in its design and construction supervised the work.
Made of iron and granite, ‘Far’ measures 178 x 130 x 800 centimetres. Sirvent designed it to evoke a lighthouse and its connection to Mediterranean coasts and ports. The artist, who has lived on Mallorca since 1980, also followed the sculpture’s reinstallation in the park.
