Itinerem

It all started in 1785. Yes, it has been quite a few years since the 18th century Cardinal Antoni Despuig supported the creation of a map of Mallorca that included the more than 1,250 'possessions' that existed at the time. According to the experts, it is one of the most important examples of Mallorcan and Spanish cartography of the Enlightenment age. The desire to enhance the value of what Cardinal Despuig wanted to highlight in his map is what drove us to create Itinerem, a project which aims to present to the world the immense material and immaterial heritage that the 'possessions' have represented for centuries and still represent today in the history of Mallorca. Itinerem started as an initiative which goal is to create a Cultural Itinerary of the European Council focused on the rural historical houses of the Mediterranean, known in Mallorca as 'possessions'. The development will be based in the citizen's participation, the diffusion and the sustainable cultural tourism.
