Ses Salines
Rural local history in the south, shaped by salt and agriculture
Historic main town between the salt landscape and Migjorn
Ses Salines is located in the south of Mallorca on a gently elevated inland plain. The name refers to the salt production in the surrounding area. At the center stand the neoclassical parish church of Sant Bartomeu and the Torre de Can Barberà; the older church and the former manor house Can Bonico complete the architectural heritage. Can Bonico is now used as a hotel and is not a freely accessible museum.
On the outskirts of town lies the prehistoric settlement of Els Antigors. Small hills, agricultural land, and proximity to the sea define the landscape. For beach days or Cabrera excursions, the separate coastal town of Colònia de Sant Jordi is the appropriate starting point. Ses Salines itself is worth a quiet walk through the village with views of historical buildings and the long settlement history of the south.
