THE INTERIOR OF CAN COSTA

An icon of traditional
Mallorcan architecture in Pollença

The birthplace of Miquel Costa i Llobera , known as Can Costa , is a space that breathes history and culture in every corner. Inside, visitors can explore several rooms that preserve the charm and atmosphere of the period, transporting us back to the time when the poet lived and found his inspiration.

The Entrance Hall of Can Costa

The entrance hall of the Can Costa i Llobera house is a space of great nobility and elegance, designed to impress from the very first moment. The flooring, made of Mallorcan stone, conveys a sense of solidity and tradition, while the semicircular arches, supported by sturdy columns, create an architectural harmony that extends throughout the space.

The natural light streaming through the windows highlights the details of the walls, adorned with antique paintings that reflect the family’s history and culture. At the far end, an impressive carved stone staircase rises gracefully, becoming the central axis of the room and connecting the upper floors with a fluidity that evokes the grandeur of a bygone era.

The House Garden

The garden of the Can Costa i Llobera house is a tranquil, evocative space that combines natural and artistic elements to create a unique atmosphere. At the centre of the garden stands a stone well, which not only recalls the island’s rural traditions but also serves as a focal point of the landscape. Nearby, a statue of Miquel Costa i Llobera presides majestically over the space, paying tribute to the poet amid the greenery.

Around the pool, which blends harmoniously with its surroundings, several works of art can be admired decorating the perimeter, creating a subtle dialogue between nature and culture. This garden is not only a place of rest, but also a space where the history and artistic heritage of the house can be felt.

The Grand Hall

The Grand Hall of Can Costa, once a venue for large family gatherings, has been transformed into an elegant exhibition space that retains its historic charm. Furniture from the late 19th century, subtle and refined in style, lends a touch of distinction and authenticity to the room.

At the centre, an impressive chandelier hangs from the high ceiling, filling the room with a soft, warm light that evokes the elegance and sophistication of another era. This combination of historic and modern elements makes the Grand Hall a unique setting for exhibiting contemporary art.

The Dining Room

The kitchen and dining room of Can Costa are distinctive spaces located in the garden, outside the main floor of the house, designed to host gatherings in a more intimate and relaxed setting. Together they offer a warm, welcoming atmosphere, ideal for family or friends’ get-togethers.

The kitchen, equipped with modern features while retaining traditional details, opens onto the dining room, where a large wooden table presides over the space, inviting long conversations after meals. This outdoor area lets guests enjoy the tranquillity of the garden, making it the perfect refuge for sharing special moments together.
