The lobster houses of Cala Rajada
The lobster houses of Cala Rajada are historical buildings of the fishing industry in Cala Rajada on the Spanish Mediterranean island of Mallorca .
They are located on the seashore below the promenade a little east of the port of Cala Rajada .
The white, compact lobster houses were used to store caught lobsters until the animals were sold. For this purpose, the buildings are located directly on the seashore and are built in such a way that their interior is partially flooded by sea water, but the lobsters kept alive cannot find their way back into the open sea. In addition, they are constructed in such a way that they can withstand stormy seas despite their exposed location.
Two of the lobster houses have been preserved, the larger one to the east showing damage at the eastern end of its cover (as of 2016). In the immediate vicinity, rubble and structural remains of other similar buildings can be seen.
Although the houses are listed as listed in regional publications , they are not listed in the local register of monuments.
