Answer

Why does public art matter so much in Palma’s city centre?

Public art helps shape the identity of Palma and gives the city centre a sense of place beyond shops and traffic. When those works are copied for advertising purposes, they can lose part of their meaning and become just another visual prop. Protecting them is also a way of respecting the people who created them.
