Lonja de Palma de Mallorca

The important trading activity developped in the ports drove the king Jaime to hand over the lands in order to build this fish market, assigned as meeting point of merchants that did bussiness there.

 

It is a rectangular building covered by rib vaults leaned on helicoidal columns, that divide the space into six naves supported by simple fluted pillars, inside the grandness of only one room.

Four elegant large fortified towers decorate its corners and other ten small towers coincide with the inside columns. The upper part of the building has a gallery of ogee windows (an element that will be usually reproduced in some porchs of the Palma mansions). This gallery is finished off by a merlons cresting.

There are two facades: The one of the West, in whose tympanum there is a Virgin crowned by an angel; and the main one with the Angel, merchants´ Patron Saint. The drillings of its hollows have a beautiful structure as well as the motives of its freizes and cornices. On its lintels we can see sculptures of the four Evangelists.

 

Nowadays it is a building assigned as exhibitions room.
