about 1725 by Juan Sureda i Villalonga, the first Marquis of
Vivot. Home of the Villalonga family until it passed to the
Sureda family in the 18th c. The conspiracy by King Philip's
followers in favour of the Bourbons during the War of
Succession was planned in this house.The general alterations
made to this house by the Valencian, Jaume d'Espinosa,
included the courtyard which was promptly used as a model, on
different scales and with mixed success, for most of the
city's courtyards.

Can Oleza
Carrer Morey, 9 - Palma Old Town
Courtyard dating from the end of
the 17th century, in which all the features which would
subsequently define the typical townhouse courtyard in Palma
come together: extraordinarily depressed arches, a loggia,
ionic columns with their pronounced entasis, wrought-iron
railings. The pleasing harmony of the whole set the style for
alterations carried out throughout the whole 18th century.
