Answer

Why is heritage protection so important for the monastery in Palma?

The monastery is listed as a cultural asset of special interest, which means any restoration, adaptation or visitor use has to follow strict conservation rules. That applies to the building itself as well as to the objects and collections inside it, including textiles and other fragile items. In practice, this slows down quick decisions but helps prevent damage to a unique part of Palma’s history.
