Exhibition about King James II and the "Ordinacions de l'any 1300"

The chapel of the Misericòrdia Cultural Centre in Palma is holding until March 2, 2002, the historic exhibition "Jaume II i les ordinacions de l'any 1300", organised by the Department of Culture of the Mallorcan Council. The exhibition closes the programme of events celebrated in different towns of Mallorca to commemorate the 700 anniversary of their foundation.

The show is a trip to the history of the Kingdom of Mallorca in 1300, centred on the "Ordinacions", document signed by King James II. As from the "Ordinations" of James II, 14 towns were formed on Mallorca.

The exhibitions is complemented with two other installations: one in the patio of the Misericòrdia Cultural Centre, consisting of a huge model of Mallorca on which you can walk and learn about several outstanding places of the island in the time of James II; and another one in the ground floor next to the Chapel, dedicated to the document archive that the Architect Gabriel Alomar (Palma, 1919-1997) ceded to the Arxiu General del Consell de Mallorca in 1991.
