Renaissance “Casals” of Alcúdia

Renaissance “Casals” of Alcúdia

Renaissance manor houses in Alcúdia’s historic center, preserved from the 16th–17th centuries, including Can Castell, Can Fondo and Can Domènec.

Throughout the historic centre, numerous Renaissance-style noble houses, known as “casals”, can be found. During the 16th and 17th centuries, many underwent significant alterations, particularly to their façades, in order to align them with the architectural standards of the period. During the Revolt of the Germanies (1521–1523), nobles from Ciutat (Palma) sought refuge in Alcúdia and introduced humanist ideas that were enthusiastically embraced by the local aristocracy. These new influences brought a renewed architectural language that was subsequently applied to the most important residences in the city. Most of these buildings have survived to the present day with minimal alterations, allowing visitors to admire examples such as Can Castell, Can Fondo (home to the Historical Archive and exhibition hall), Can Canta (Can Barrera), Can Domenec (headquarters of the Consortium of the Roman City of Pol·lèntia) and Can Costa (Can Sureda), among others.
