Boutique studio in Calatrava
€365,000
La Calatrava occupies the easternmost corner of Palma's old town, tucked between the cathedral and the ancient Arab city walls that once defined the medieval city. It is one of the calmest quarters inside the historic perimeter, with narrow lanes, fine townhouses and a distinctly artsy undercurrent.
As Mallorca's apartment specialists, we keep a close eye on La Calatrava because properties here rarely come to market. Contact us to hear about opportunities before they are listed publicly.
The neighbourhood borders the Es Baluard museum of modern and contemporary art and offers scenic walking routes along the medieval bastions overlooking the bay. That combination of cutting-edge culture and ancient stone is hard to find anywhere else in the city.
Apartments here tend to be sizeable units within restored noble townhouses. The relative tranquillity compared to busier old-town quarters draws buyers who want both character and calm within the historic walls.
It sits away from the main tourist circuits and has almost no through-traffic, which preserves its quiet, local character. Among those who know Palma well it is considered one of the most authentic corners of the old town.
Very much so. The Passeig del Born, the waterfront and the main old-town amenities are all within a short walk, making a car unnecessary for daily life in the city.
