The manor houses of Binissalem are a reflection of the feudal legacy that has defined the history of the municipality since the 13th century. After the Conquest of 1229, the lands of Binissalem came under the rule of various cavalries, feudal territories subject to dominical rights and civil jurisdiction. The cavalries of Morneta, the most extensive, extended from the village to Lloseta, being the property of the Torrellas from 1282 until the 18th century. Other important ones were those of the Dones de Jonqueres, of monastic origin, and Bauçana, which belonged to the Chapter of the Cathedral until the 19th century. These possessions, some of which were sold on an emphyteusis, gave rise to the majestic estates that are known today as possessions. Visiting these estates is to delve into the rich noble history of Binissalem and appreciate the cultural heritage that still endures in its landscapes and architecture.
Of the Torre de Can Marc, it is worth noting that the roofs of the house are ribbed vaults with sculptural ornamentation on the keystones, as well as its oil press.
Can Macià and Can Pere-Antoni are two constructions from the Son Gorra division, which have undergone changes due to actions carried out during the 19th and 20th centuries.
In the southern part of the municipality of Binissalem, we also find the Son Roig manor house , which preserves a traditional entrance, while Sa Cabana d’en Ferrer has an atypical facade and several oenological elements that remind us that we are in an area with a winemaking tradition.
For its part, the town of Biniagual evokes bygone eras thanks to preserved architectural elements that accurately describe the synchrony between peasant houses, Mallorcan possessions and a small church that preserves small Baroque altarpieces.
