The building that now houses the Petra Theater was built in the second half of the 20th century as the headquarters of the Guardia Civil. Its U-shape and façade are particularly interesting. The theater itself was installed in the west wing of the building in 2005.

Old Petra Railway Station

Highlight • Historical Site

In 1879, the town was connected to the Mallorcan railway network via the Inca-Manacor railway line.

In 1977, the 914 mm gauge railway service abruptly ended due to track defects. However, everything remained as it was when the railway service was discontinued.

During the reconstruction to meter gauge in 2003, a bypass was built in Petra, and a new station was built outside the town. The old station remained and became home to local boules players.

Since nothing has been changed, Petra is today the last remaining example of a typical Mallorcan rural railway station. It includes the reception building built in 1879, the toilet block, the well, the goods shed, and the walkable 914 mm gauge track.

With EU funding, the buildings were restored in 2022 for around €300,000. However, there is no evidence of any use of the buildings. During a previous visit, the station building served as a camp for the boules players.
