The Mallorca Cathedral will hold until December 19 the exhibition "l'espirit Gaudí. Obres a la Seu 1903-1914", a trip with indications round the different objects designed by the architect, Gaudí, and his collaborators, Josep Maria Jujol and Joan Rubió from 1903 to 1914 fulfilling the order for liturgic restoration and the artistic intervention in the gothic temple from the bishop Pere Joan Campins Barceló.
