Biniamar

From the time in which the Arabs controlled Mallorca, we have few written documents left, however there is enough to know that in Biniamar there were some houses. According to the Alcover-Moll dictionary, the name of Biniamar has an Arabic origin, probably from bani ahmar, "children of the red" or from Bani Ammar own person's name according to Asin Top. What we know is that in the years that followed the conquest of Mallorca there were several establishments of Saracen houses or that "they were of the Moors", located in the farmhouse of Beniamar.
Biniamar is one of these unknown towns even for the same Majorcans, but that surprises with its constructions: fincas, the small church of Santa Tecla or the unfinished New church since it has no roof and is currently used in popular celebrations.
