Open House Palma 2026: Free guided visits from 13 to 15 November
How often do you walk past a doorway in Palma and wonder what’s behind it? Open House Palma gives you a chance to find out. From Friday 13 to Sunday 15 November 2026, more than 50 buildings and spaces are offering free guided visits, from a historic monastery to the studios where Joan Miró worked.
The sixth edition of the architecture festival runs from 9 to 15 November. The open buildings are the main draw this weekend, and there’s also a Thursday evening talk and Friday night music at Can Balaguer.
Where to go during Open House Palma
Can Balaguer and the Monestir de La Real. Start in the old town with Can Balaguer, a house with medieval roots that was extensively remodelled in the 17th century. For a different side of Palma, head out to the Monestir de La Real in Es Secar de la Real, one of the city’s most significant historic religious sites. Check each building’s opening times before setting out.
Fundació Miró Mallorca. On Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 November, you can see Miró’s Taller Sert studio and the Moneo building without booking ahead. Their festival hours are Saturday 16:00 to 18:00 and Sunday 10:00 to 14:00. Son Boter, the old house Miró used as another studio, has a separate Saturday morning session from 10:00 to 14:00. Check the festival listing for Son Boter booking details.
A talk on Thursday and music on Friday
Water is a theme of this year’s festival. On Thursday 12 November at 19:00, Tres Arquitectures d’Aigua at Can Balaguer looks at how architects work with water, from cooling public spaces to restoring waterways. The courtyard hosts live music from l’Arannà and a vinyl set by Prof Mullet on Friday 13 November from 20:00 to 23:30.
Are the visits free, and do you need to book?
The building visits are free and led by volunteers. Many venues take visitors in order of arrival, and volunteers can tell you how long the wait is likely to be. For venues that require a booking, follow the ticket link on the individual building page and check for available times.
Choose two or three places and check the opening hours for each. If step-free access matters to you, check the individual listing for access details and ask the organiser if anything is unclear.
