"Pretty building in small plaza in central Palma. On the way to many places. Worth a quick stop for photos and iced coffee."
Ricky Bhabutta
"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."
