The association La Miranda de Pollença has submitted objections to the municipal Heritage Catalog to include architectural and historical elements from the 17th to the 20th centuries that it considers lacking protection. The proposal covers properties in the urban center, the port, Formentor, and rural areas, seeking individualized cataloging of examples such as Ca nAulí, Can Codony, Can Dengue, and the Posada d'Albercuix.
Digital catalog and technical criteria for protection 🏛️
The association argues that the current municipal catalog applies disparate criteria, leaving out buildings with proven historical and architectural value. They propose a system of individualized technical sheets with data on period, conservation status, and construction typology. The use of geolocation tools and digital databases would allow cross-referencing information and avoiding legal loopholes that facilitate unauthorized demolitions or renovations in properties that deserve the same treatment as those already protected.
The catalog that forgot the Posada d'Albercuix 🏚️
The Posada d'Albercuix has been waiting for decades for someone to look at it with heritage eyes, not just with the desire to turn it into tourist apartments. The same fate befalls Ca nAulí and Can Dengue, which must be thinking: why did my cataloged neighbor get a plaque while I only get squatting stickers. La Miranda proposes protecting them before some investor decides that their best historical tribute is a concrete block with a pool.
