Palau March Palma: sculptures from Rodin to Chillida

On its terrace and in its courtyard, the Palau March in Palma displays a sculpture collection with works by Auguste Rodin, Henry Moore and Eduardo Chillida, as well as a Neapolitan nativity scene with over 1,000 figures. Children aged 0 to 11 get in free; sources give differing figures for the standard adult price, so check it before you visit.

Opening times and admission

The Palau March is open all day Monday to Friday and on Saturday mornings, and closed on Sundays. Children aged 0 to 11 get in free; sources do not agree on the standard adult price, so check it before you visit.

The sculpture collection

The terrace and courtyard hold works by Auguste Rodin, Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth and Eduardo Chillida, among others – with no museum queue and a direct view of the cathedral.

The Neapolitan nativity scene

Inside the palace, an 18th-century nativity scene displays over 1,000 figures – one of the most elaborate ensembles of its kind on the island.

Historic nautical charts

The collection also includes historic nautical charts from the 14th and 15th centuries, which document Mallorca's importance for medieval cartography.
