Descripción It is located in the region of Es Raiguer, in the interior of the island. Inca is among the first cities of the island in terms of number of inhabitants. Historically the municipality had Talayotic settlements that continued to be inhabited during the Roman domination, until the s. V. In Islamic times it was called 'Inkàn', and from the Arab presence there are some vestiges, such as the 'sinies' and the 'ganats' or 'foggara', different systems to extract the underground water. The boom of the town began in the early twentieth century, when, favored by the train and the installation of a gas factory, appeared the first industries in the leather sector, mainly focused on footwear. In Inca there is a market every Thursday, considered one of the most important in Mallorca. |

Descripción The peculiarity of this house is that it is suspected that it was built on an old Jewish quarter, due to the remains that have been found during its renovations. A couple of restorers were in charge of its remodeling, turning it into a kind of cave, with a multitude of works of art, furniture, sculptures and decorative objects, all of them very curious and belonging to different regions of the world.
