José Ferragut Pou was the architect responsible for the Gesa building in Palma. A highly respected architect, other works for which he was responsible included La Porciúncula, the 'glass church' in Arenal. The project for the Gesa building was approved in 1963. Ferragut didn't live to see it. He was murdered in 1968. Two rent boys initially imprisoned for the murder were released, and the case was hushed up.
When will Palma's Gesa building be restored?
