CALA RATJADA – located in the northeast end of Mallorca some 80 kilometers from  Palma – is a small seaside town with its own port the most important one of Capdepera and also the one closest to Menorca It is a small urban center located in a rectangular expansion area occupied mainly by housing blocks The new space includes a cultural center and a large outdoor space with centennial trees; with a changing appearance the building aims to engage in dialogue and blend with its natural environment  of lights and shadows the new Cap Vermell Center is located in the center of the expansion areas aside from the building containing the cultural center a large open space in a plot filled with centennial pine trees Aiming to set up a dialogue with the place where it rises the project tries to meld into its environment without mimetizing entirely the shadows of the building interact with those of the trees in a space dominated by the intense Mediterranean light the building is a solid and compact volume of dyed concrete with the same texture and color of the stones in the landscape surrounding it Its petreous and changing appearance serves as backdrop for the shadows cast by the vegetation The floor plan consists of three main bays that organize the whole program: the bay parallel to the western facade accommodates the main pieces – assembly hall library and exhibition center; the one closer to the street contains the smaller pieces – classrooms and offices; and vertical communications and three longitudinal courtyards which enhance daylighting and natural ventilation The entrance to the building is through a double access that takes place through two main facades; both converge in a hall that traverses the whole program The project tries to integrate passive and traditional systems in the building process and therefore resorts to dry construction and to an economic and versatile prefabrication system which also provides the constructive and energy solution: a concrete piece whose nature and detailing is already part of traditional construction in Baleares Three bays organize the program; the larger one houses the main uses; the one closer to the street classrooms and offices; and the central one vertical cores and three patios to provide light and ventilation The courtyards to ensure cross ventilation in the different rooms the sun protection with light-filtering elements the bay that allows making the most of sunlight and the reuse of rainwater deposited in a large well to water plants in the project to improve the building’s energy efficiency and its insertion in its environment Francesc Trillo;

The park will offer visitors everything from the last supper to "live resurrections" in a rolling programme of shows repeated through the day. Although similar parks exist in Latin America and the US, Europe has yet to build a Christian theme park, perhaps because the number of those with faith is dwindling. But Sigma, the prospective builder of Mallorca's venture and owner of a similar park in Buenos Aires, Argentina, want to bring its concept to Europe with a place that promises to recreate scenarios from the old and new testaments. Capdepera's town hall confirmed that it had received an approach from Sigma but had yet to decide on approval. The plan for the Mallorca park is to emulate the success of Christian attractions in the US, which include the Holy Land Experience in Orlando, and the Creation Museum near Cincinatti. Exact details are scant, but the Buenos Aires park offers its re-enactments of the creation of mankind, the birth of Christ, the resurrection and the last supper eight times a day. With a cast of extras in the costumes of Romans and early Palestinians, the park advertises itself as "a place where everyone can learn about the origins of spirituality". Visitors include tourists and groups of young roman Catholics studying for their first communion. The park planned for Mallorca reportedly intends to build replicas of, among other things, the Wall of Lamentations and a Roman court house.
