Can Prunera is the most important Art Nouveau house in Sóller and an outstanding example of this style in Mallorca. In 2010 the house underwent a detailed restoration, including the historical furniture that remains in the house. Since its restoration and opening to the public, Can Prunera gathers a remarkable collection of paintings by the great masters of the 19th and 20th centuries, belonging to the Pere Serra Art collection.
