Things to see and do Inca

In Muro, the 7 000 th century church, Gothic style, the ethnological museum (closed on Monday), or the oratory of La Sang (th century) will interest lovers of history.

The passage through the village of Santa Margarita seems obliged if you go to Artà. But you can also visit Petra on the Route road. In this case, especially if you do not think of visiting Menorca, you will pass through the village of Ariany, where there are talayotiques villages. A talayot is a kind of tower built with huge non stones. With an average diameter of 15 m, the talayot could reach 8 m high.

Inca is considered one of the island's most important cities in terms of population. Inca's history dates back to the time of the Talayots, when it was occupied by the Romans until the 5th century. During Muslim rule, it was known as "Inkàn", and traces of this Arab presence can still be seen today, notably in the underground water drainage systems. At the beginning of the 20th century, Inca enjoyed a period of prosperity thanks to the advent of the train and the installation of gas, which led to the development of the leather industry, particularly shoe manufacturing. Inca is also known for its weekly market, considered to be one of the most important in Mallorca, and for its cellars which have been converted into restaurants where you can sample regional cuisine and typical dry cookies. Its historical heritage includes the church of Santa María la Mayor, the ancient convent of Sant Domingo, the convent of Sant Francesc and the monastery of Sant Bartomeu.
