Wikipedia gives the following history.

After the conquest of the Balearic Islands by Jaime I the Conqueror , the monarch handed over the estate to his uncle Nuño de Rosellón , who in turn sold it to the Moorish Ben-Abet family. Later it passed through several hands, until it belonged to the Zaforteza family, its current owners.

The family home was built in the 15th century , while a rear wing was added in the 17th century , and the baroque- style façade is from the 18th century . In the courtyard of the house there is a fountain with a sculpture of a boy and a fish. The gardens are located on the back of the building, which features a cistern covered by a barrel vault and a pergola with 72 columns and 24 hydras stone interspersed suppliers, whose water falls down the slope of the ground to an orchard of orange trees .

In the 19th century , a new landscaped garden was added , where a lake populated by water lilies and surrounded by palm trees and bamboos stands out.
