Demolition halted in Palma: What Gaspar Bennazar’s house teaches us about heritage protection

Answer

Is it worth preserving an old house in Palma even if redevelopment is planned?

It can be, especially when the building still contains original features that shape the character of the neighbourhood. Preservation is not only about a façade; it can also protect carpentry, tiles, shutters and other details that tell part of Palma’s history. The challenge is that preservation usually takes more time and money than rebuilding.
