Raixa, an estate set at the foot of the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range in the Bunyola municipality.

Here, the Moors built the farmhouse Araixa, from which the estate takes its name. Cardinal Antoni Despuig converted the old estate into an Italian- style palace. The main house primarily served as a storage place for his artwork brought over from Italy.

Declared a Site of Cultural Interest, Raixa is used as a location for shooting films and holding concerts.
Today Raixa is open to the public, showing all the charm and romance of the exterior of the palace, the courtyard, chapel, gardens, the staircase, the large pond and gazebos.
