Museu d'Història de Manacor
The origins of the Manacor Museum of History date back to 1908, when Mn. Joan Aguiló i Pinya discovered the early Christian basilica and the complex of Son Peretó. The priest made a gift of his discoveries, as well as the grounds of Son Peretó, to the Manacor Town Hall, at which time the collection was moved from its original exhibition place in the rectory, then known as the Aguiló Museum, to the Municipal Museum of Torre de Ses Puntes, inaugurated in the year 1926.
