Royal Palace of La Almudaina adds new spaces on 25 September

The Royal Palace of La Almudaina (Palau Reial de l’Almudaina) in Palma has reopened with new displays and additional spaces, a change reported on 25 September 2026. The reopening follows a major renovation and gives the historic complex a revised route through its rooms and collections.
The palace remains an official royal residence in Spain, while its visitor route now presents the building as a sequence of historical layers. For travellers in Spain in October and early November 2026, the practical change is that the updated interior visit is available rather than the former pre-renovation arrangement.
Royal Palace of La Almudaina opens a new route
Public broadcaster RTVE reported the reopening and new museography on 25 September 2026. Its report names Palma as the location and describes a route with new displays and newly incorporated spaces, making the announcement a current update for visitors to the Balearic capital.
The route culminates in the Throne Room, which is presented in the style of the period of Alfonso XIII. The report also identifies Patrimonio Nacional conservator Rocío Fernández-Tresguerres and architect Luis Pérez de Prada in connection with the renewed presentation. RTVE’s reopening report links the 25 September date directly with the palace and its new visitor route.
The new displays follow Palma’s layered history
The complex stands beside Palma Cathedral and reflects successive Roman, Islamic and Christian periods. The present palace developed from an older fortified site and took its principal royal form during the Middle Ages, while later rooms and uses added further layers.
The relationship between the update and the building is especially clear in the route itself. Instead of treating the palace as a single-period monument, the new presentation leads towards a Throne Room associated with Alfonso XIII, allowing a later royal setting to serve as the endpoint of a longer architectural history.
Patrimonio Nacional manages the site, which continues to function as an official residence during royal stays and ceremonial occasions. The Balearic tourism authority’s guide records the complex’s Roman, Moorish and Christian connections, as well as its parade ground, Gothic chapel and historic baths.
