history
Archaeological finds show that the area around Ariany was already inhabited in prehistoric times ( Talayot culture ). Under Jaume I , the conqueror of Mallorca, the settlement is mentioned under its current name. From the 16th century it was subordinate to the Cotoner family, who appointed Philip V as margraves in return for the support this family gave the Bourbons in the War of the Spanish Succession . The village has developed around s'Auberg and the old path de sa Marquesa . The old portal with vaulted stones is well worth seeing. The municipal road once connected the houses of s'Auberg with Son Sureda in Manacor.
In 1982 the place separated from Petra, whose congregation he had belonged until then.
Today the municipality has joined the administrative association of the Mancomunitat Pla de Mallorca .
Attractions
The church of Nuestra Señora d'Atocha , the original church from 1570, was dedicated to the White Madonna.
In 1717 Philip V appointed Marc Antoni Cotoner, lord of the land in Ariany, as margrave in return for his support to the Bourbons during the War of the Spanish Succession. The margrave, who usually resides in Madrid , donated a new church for the people, which was completed in 1737, as well as a replica of the Madonna portrait of Atocha in Madrid, which also gave the church its new name. Between 1908 and 1913 the church received its present appearance with the construction of the dome and the bell tower.

Of the three crosses that adorn the Ariany landscape, the classicist Sa Creu , built of sandstone in 1856 , is the oldest.
