Stone

Brief History and Importance

The tradition of stone in Binissalem

Stone has been an essential component of Binissalem’s identity and development over the centuries. The municipality is recognized not only for its rich history and heritage but also for its tradition of stone quarrying and craftsmanship. This industry, dating back to ancient times, has shaped both the local architecture and the region’s economy.

The stone sector in Binissalem is distinguished by its focus on the extraction of limestone, a material historically used in the construction of buildings, mansions, and other emblematic structures across Mallorca. Binissalem stone is renowned for its quality and durability—attributes that have made it a preferred choice for construction projects both locally and internationally.

Every year, the municipality celebrates the Stone Fair, a major event that has honored this tradition since 2003. In 2024, the 21st edition took place. The fair attracts numerous visitors, both locals and tourists, who come to admire and purchase stone and marble products. The Stone Fair not only promotes craftsmanship and local trade but also provides an opportunity for artisans and companies in the sector to showcase their skills and creativity in stonework.
