Can Prunera

Art Nouveau Elegance in the Heart of Sóller

A Masterpiece of Modernist Architecture

Set along one of Sóller’s quiet, cobbled streets, Can Prunera is a dazzling example of Mallorcan Art Nouveau (Modernisme). Built in the early 20th century for a wealthy local merchant family, the mansion’s façade is adorned with ornate iron balconies, curved stonework, and intricate floral motifs that immediately draw the eye. Even before stepping inside, visitors are greeted by one of Sóller’s most beautiful buildings, perfectly preserved as a work of art in its own right.

Interiors that Tell a Story

Inside, the attention to detail continues with hand-carved woodwork, stained-glass windows, original mosaic floors, and period furniture that transports you to the elegance of early 1900s Mallorca. The house layout remains much as it was when first built, offering a rare glimpse into the lifestyle of Sóller’s wealthy families during the citrus trade boom. Every room reveals another layer of craftsmanship, from the delicate ceiling mouldings to the wrought-iron stair rails.

A Collection of Artistic Treasures

Today, Can Prunera functions as a museum of modernism and contemporary art, featuring works by Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró, and other acclaimed artists. Alongside these are paintings, sculptures, and decorative pieces by regional talents, creating a rich dialogue between international and local art. The museum also hosts temporary exhibitions, ensuring there’s always something new to discover for returning visitors.

A Must-See Cultural Stop

Located just a short walk from Plaça de sa Constitució, Can Prunera is easy to combine with a day exploring Sóller’s historic centre. Whether you come for the architecture, the art collection, or simply to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of Mallorca’s golden age, this museum is one of the valley’s cultural highlights and a must-see for lovers of history and design.
