The Royal Palace of La Almudaina (Palacio Real de La Almudaina) in Palma hosts an open day on 12 October 2026, giving visitors free access to self-guided visits. The date is Spain's National Day, and the arrangement applies regardless of nationality.
Palma palace joins Patrimonio Nacional open day
Patrimonio Nacional has listed the Royal Palace of La Almudaina among the royal sites taking part in the open day. Its visitor information for 12 October states that free admission is available for self-guided visits at the ticket office.
The same arrangement covers the palace in Palma on 12 October 2026, while guided visits remain a separate format. A report by Ultima Hora on the open day says the usual route and visitor service remain in place. That makes the event a specific access opportunity rather than a new exhibition or a change to the palace's permanent programme.
Open day follows a renewed route through the palace
The October event comes after a major refurbishment that reopened the building to visitors on 29 July 2026. The work renewed the visitor route, museum presentation and monumental lighting, and added rooms that had not previously been part of the public visit.
The route now follows a chronological presentation from the site's Roman origins and the Islamic period of Madina Mayurqa through the Kingdom of Mallorca, the Crown of Aragon and the Bourbon period. The Palace of the Queen is among the newly accessible spaces, while the route ends in the Throne Room presented in the period of Alfonso XIII. The refurbishment is described in a report on the renewed visitor route.
The link between the open day and the refurbishment is practical: visitors on 12 October 2026 will encounter the expanded route that was introduced in July, rather than the pre-refurbishment layout. The free access therefore provides a fixed date for seeing the palace's changed public presentation.
