After twelve years: Who will save the monastery in Palma's old town — and how?

Answer

Can the monastery in Palma’s old town be turned into a hotel?

A hotel conversion is not the direction being discussed for the monastery in Palma. The religious community has made clear that it does not want that outcome, and the building is also protected as a cultural asset, which makes major changes difficult. Any future use would need to fit its heritage status and spiritual character.
