Answer

Can a protected rural estate in Mallorca be altered during restoration work?

Yes, but only within the limits of the approved project and heritage rules. In Mallorca, protected buildings need careful oversight, especially when original materials, archaeological remains or historic structures are involved. If the work goes beyond what was authorised, the owner or contractor may face sanctions and restoration obligations.
