INFORMATIONS TOURISTIQUES
Inca is considered one of the island's most important cities in terms of population. Inca's history dates back to the time of the Talayots, when it was occupied by the Romans until the 5th century. During Muslim rule, it was known as "Inkàn", and traces of this Arab presence can still be seen today, notably in the underground water drainage systems. At the beginning of the 20th century, Inca enjoyed a period of prosperity thanks to the advent of the train and the installation of gas, which led to the development of the leather industry, particularly shoe manufacturing. Inca is also known for its weekly market, considered to be one of the most important in Mallorca, and for its cellars which have been converted into restaurants where you can sample regional cuisine and typical dry cookies. Its historical heritage includes the church of Santa María la Mayor, the ancient convent of Sant Domingo, the convent of Sant Francesc and the monastery of Sant Bartomeu.
