Santa Maria la Major d'Inca is a Catholic church with a rich history. The current church was the third built on the site, constructed between 1706 and 1893, with a façade made of marl, a material commonly used in churches in Majorca. Inside the church, there is a single nave with seven lateral chapels. The organ is situated above the right door of the church, which opens onto the so-called Plaça de l'orgue.
While Perot Comes built a new organ in Inca in 1419, the current instrument contains various parts from Gabriel Thomàs, who began its construction when the church was finished. After being abandoned in 1960, the organ was restored and cleaned in 1989. It remains in good condition, preserving the two original keyboards built with bone.
Although the current church was built in the 18th century, the site has a long history dating back to 1248. The organ remains a significant feature of the building's interior and exterior layout.
