    **Please note you cannot go "tour" these buildings but they're great to look at.** Here's a little snippet i found online on their history: These two buildings were designed simultaneously in 1908 and 1909, and are separated by a narrow street. There had been plans to build a bridge to connect the two, but planning permission was not granted. The buildings have matching façades and interior layouts strongly influenced by Modernist and Art Nouveau styles. The famous Catalan architect Gaudí’s influence is also strongly evident in the parabolic window and doorway arches, as well as the undulating style of the building.

    The Can Casasayas building and the Menorquina pension are twin buildings, declared Assets of Cultural Interest and Historical Heritage of Spain. Modernist style, with a clear "Art Nouveau" tendency. They were built between 1908 and 1911, by the architects Francesc Roca Simón, (Palma 1874 - Madrid, 1940), who directed the works in the first phase and were finished under the direction of Guillem Reynes Font (Palma, 1877 - 1918) . At first they were intended to be used as a boarding house, but eventually they were buildings for residential use. In 1909 there was an intention to join them by means of a high pass, but finally the Palma City Council denied its authorization. In 2010, they underwent a profound and necessary reform. They deserve your visit and contemplation as two exponents of modernism in Palma.

    The Edifici Casasayas is a typical 'Art Nouveau' building that was built between 1908 and 1911 and was intended to be used as a hotel, but eventually became an apartment building. It is located in a quiet square as you cross the main avenue Carrer Unió.

    La tipica architettura "gaudiana" qui trova una delle sue massime espressioni. Le strutture sono molto belle con la luce del tramonto diventano ancora più magiche.

    (Translated by Google) A delight to sit in the plaza to admire the complex that forms with its "twin", the Menorquina Pension. And then zoom in to enjoy the detail.

    The Can Casasayas building and the Pensión Menorquina are two buildings inspired by the Art Nouveau modernist movement. Identically executed, symmetrical buildings, separated by Carrer de Santacília. They were built at the request of Josep Casasayas Casajuana, the owner of the Can Frasquet pastry shop. The project was led by Francesc Roca, who directed the first phase of work. They were completed under the direction of Guillem Reynés.
