Partial Collapse at the Baluard de Sant Pere in Palma – What Now?

Answer

Why did part of the city wall near Es Baluard in Palma collapse?

The report points to long-term wear and neglected maintenance as likely factors, rather than one single sudden event. Old stone walls in Mallorca can be weakened by moisture, root pressure, traffic vibrations, and age if restoration work is delayed.
