Central Palma features several examples of modernismo architecture.  Lluis Domenech i Montaner built the lavish Gran Hotel.  Today this is the home of the Fundacio La Caixa, which is free to enter and contains interesting exhibitions, a cafe bar and a video explaining the modernismo background of Palma.

 Josep Cassayas built two exquisitely curvaceous twin apartment buildings on the Placa Mercat, just opposite the Gran Hotel.  See below.
