is the capital of an island in the Mediterranean Sea with the same name. It is a city with a long and exciting history. The Cathedral sits high above the Parque De La Mar. “La Seu”, the imposing cathedral,.is one of the most beautiful sacred buildings in the world as well as being one of the most magnificent gothic buildings on the island. Sandstone from Santanyi gives the masonry its warm, honey-yellow colour. Centuries of continuous construction have resulted in many artistic styles being kept in the building.

In the Barri Gòtic Old Town, which has changed little over the centuries, real treasures can be found hidden in the labyrinth of narrow streets. From the outside, the aristocratic buildings are mostly dilapidated, and one can only imagine the former elegant everyday life. Through a small garden behind a wall, a path leads to an Arabic bath. The Banys Àrabs are considered to be the only completely preserved Mallorcan buildings of the Moorish period.

To the south, adjacent to the cathedral, is the PALAU DE L´ALMUDAINA, the King’s Palace. The history of this palace reflects the city’s history. Initially it was built as the residence for the Moorish emirs. However after the city was taken back from the Moors in 1281 King JAUME The Second had the palace rebuilt in Gothic style. A fortified complex of sturdy walls with towers and airy arcades.

The mighty Castell De Bellever, the “Castle of the Beautiful View”, overlooks the harbour area and the city. King Jaume The First commissioned this fortress at the beginning of the 14th century, shortly after the conquest of the island and so one of the most important fortifications in Europe was built. Suitable for defence with watchtowers, ramparts and ditches. The “Pearl of the Mediterranean” has survived and stands today as a proud echo of the past.
