About this event
The closing talk of Palma's heritage lecture cycle looks at the visual relationships between Mallorca's castles and coastal watchtowers, the sightlines that once let the island warn itself of raiders. Held in the salons of Can Balaguer, a merchant mansion turned municipal culture house just off plaça Major, with free entry while seats last.
Why we picked it
Reads the island's defensive landscape as a designed system, in a building worth the visit on its own.
