The Museu de Mallorca offers an interesting tour around the history of the island

The Museu de Mallorca, which was set up in 1976, is located in the typical Majorcan property of the Counts of Ayamans, popularly known as Ca la Gran Cristina. The Museum contains archaeological remains, ranging from important Talaiots pieces to figures and ceramics from the Modernist period as well as examples of the stages in Italian and international Gothic painting. The building contains three floors, a main doorway with round arch, a manorial floor with Baroque balconies, an attic with Gothic windows as well as remains of the first identified Muslim house on the island in its central courtyard. Exceptional is the collection of weapons, symbols and ornaments of the first settlers on the island with materials of protohistory, which were found on the site of the Turó de Ses Beies. The different periods of colonization which the island underwent are reflected through reproductions of the Greek-Punic boat, the rooms of a Domus, a Roman house with typical atrium and the replica of an Arab tomb.
