About Marratxí observatory
We do not have verified public details about a dedicated astronomical facility under this name. Marratxí itself is better known as a historic centre of pottery-making on Mallorca, and the coordinates on this page mark the observatory's location within the municipality. The Balearic Islands are also home to the larger Astronomical Observatory of Mallorca in Costitx, a separate facility further inland on the island.

Wherever you stand on Mallorca, the right ascension and declination on a Star Register certificate point to the same fixed spot in the sky. Staff at any observatory with a telescope can aim it at those coordinates. Browse the star catalogue or name a star to get your own set of coordinates to try.
Opening hours and public-visit programs vary by season. Check Google Maps for current times before you travel.
