Answer

Are old cisterns still common in Mallorca neighborhoods?

Yes, old cisterns, rainwater tanks, and wells are still part of the landscape in many older areas of Mallorca. Some are documented, but others have been forgotten over time or are poorly marked. That is why they can still create risks during excavation or heavy lifting work.
