The possessió houses of Binissalem are a reflection of the feudal legacy that has shaped the municipality’s history since the 13th century. After the Conquest of 1229, the lands of Binissalem came under the control of several knightly estates—feudal territories subject to lordship rights and civil jurisdiction. The caballeria of Morneta, the largest, stretched from the village to Lloseta and belonged to the Torrella family from 1282 until the 18th century. Other significant ones were those of the Women of Jonqueres, of monastic origin, and Bauçana, which belonged to the Chapter of La Seu until the 19th century. Some of these estates, later sold under emphyteusis, gave rise to the majestic properties now known as possessió houses. Visiting these estates means stepping into the noble history of Binissalem and appreciating the cultural heritage that still endures in its landscapes and architecture.
Of particular note at the Tower of Can Marc are the vaulted ceilings with sculptural ornamentation on the keystones, as well as its traditional olive press (tafona).
Can Macià and Can Pere-Antoni are two constructions that originated from the division of Son Gorra, later modified by interventions during the 19th and 20th centuries.
In the southern part of the municipality of Binissalem lies the manor house of Son Roig, which preserves a traditional entrance.
Sa Cabana d’en Ferrer has an atypical façade and various oenological features that remind us we are in a region with a strong winemaking tradition.
Meanwhile, the hamlet of Biniagual evokes past eras thanks to its architectural elements, which describe the harmony between country houses, Mallorcan possessions, and a small church that still preserves modest Baroque altarpieces.
