History & Culture in Muro
Muro's early history
Archaeological remains show that the area was first inhabited in prehistoric times, with Talayotic settlements still visible in the surrounding countryside. Later, under Roman rule, Muro formed part of the fertile plain used for agriculture, which would remain its mainstay for centuries.
During the Moorish period (10th to 13th centuries), the land was carefully managed with irrigation systems, allowing crops such as cereals, figs and almonds to thrive. After the Christian conquest of Mallorca in 1229, the town began to take on its current form, with a parish church and fortified houses shaping the village centre.
Middle Ages to current day
By the late Middle Ages, Muro had established itself as an important agricultural hub, supplying much of the island’s grain. Its prosperity is reflected in the grand stone houses and civic buildings still found in the town today. In the 19th century, the introduction of the railway helped to connect Muro more closely with Palma, further boosting trade.
Today, Muro retains its strong agricultural identity, particularly celebrated through events like the annual pumpkin fair, while also welcoming visitors who come to enjoy its history, culture and proximity to Playa de Muro.
Sights & Attractions in Muro
History, architecture and culture in Muro
Muro has one overriding attraction - the Museu Etnologic de Mallorca. This museum, housed in a former mansion, gives fascinating glimpses into Mallorca's past. The kitchen contains pottery similar to what you see in the markets today, the recreated pharmacy has a pair of scales in the shape of a crucifix.
Upstairs there is a fine collection of siurells (clay whistles) featuring men on horseback, carrying water and playing guitars. A courtyard with a well, a waterwheel and orange trees leads to more exhibits blacksmith's and cobbler's workshops, a collection of carriages, and tools once used by siversmiths, sculptors and spoonmakers.
Religious buildings
The Catalan-Gothic church of Sant Joan Baptista looks almost Arabic, guarded by palm trees and a tall, square bell-tower linked to the main church by a tiny bridge. Rebuilt in the 16th century, it has a colourful rose window over the west door.
Another church, the convent of Santa Anna, used to stage fights between bulls and bulldogs, and bullfights can still be seen at the Placa de Toros, built out of white stone in its own quarny in 1910.
Beaches in Muro
Close to Muro lies Playa de Muro, a long sweep of soft white sand and shallow turquoise water, perfect for families. Parts are lively with facilities and water sports, while others remain quiet and natural, backed by dunes and wetlands.
