Muro

Spain

Muro is a small municipality on Mallorca, the largest of the Balearic Islands, which form part of Spain. It lies in the north-east of the island.

The area has a history reaching back to prehistoric times and was shaped by successive cultures, including Roman and Muslim influences, before becoming part of the Kingdom of Majorca after the Catalan Conquest in the 13th century.

Historically an agricultural hub, Muro is known for producing oranges, lemons, olives and potatoes, though its agricultural sector faces modern challenges. As of 2024 the municipality had a population of 8,136 residents, and it experiences a significant increase in tourism, particularly during the summer months.
