Ceiling Collapse at Plaza de l'Olivar: Questions About Safety and Responsibility

Answer

Could the Plaza de l'Olivar collapse affect other old buildings in Palma?

The incident has raised wider concerns because many old buildings in Palma have been modernized in ways their original structure was never designed to handle. If similar installations were fitted without proper checks, other properties could face the same kind of risk. That does not mean every old building is unsafe, but it does point to the need for careful review.
