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

Answer

What will happen to the monastery in Palma’s old town after the ownership ruling?

The monastery now belongs to the community of Hieronymite nuns, after Spain’s highest court clarified the ownership. That does not automatically solve the future of the site, because any new use still has to respect heritage protection, canon law, and the needs of the neighborhood. The main challenge is to find a model that keeps the monastery religiously and culturally intact while making it financially sustainable.
