Welcome back everyone!
Join us on an adventure as we take a look around the beautiful Palma Cathedral in Palma, Majorca, The Balearic Islands.
The Cathedral of Santa Maria of Palma (Cathedral of St. Mary of Palma), more commonly referred to as Palma Cathedal by us Brits, is a Gothic Roman Catholic cathedral located in Palma, Mallorca, Spain.
Built by the Crown of Aragón on the site of a Moorish-era mosque. By way of comparison, the height of the central nave reaches 33m in Notre Dame de Paris, 38m in Reims, 42m in Notre-Dame d’Amiens and 48m in Saint-Pierre de Beauvais, the highest of all Gothic cathedrals.
Designed in the Catalan Gothic style but with Northern European influences, it was begun by King James I of Aragon in 1229 but only finished in 1601. It sits within the old city of Palma atop the former citadel of the Roman city, between the Royal Palace of La Almudaina and the episcopal palace. It also overlooks the Parc de la Mar and the Mediterranean Sea.
In 1901, fifty years after a restoration of the cathedral had started, Antoni Gaudí was invited to take over the project. While some of his ideas were adopted – moving the choir stalls from the middle nave to be closer to the altar, as well as a large canopy – Gaudí abandoned his work in 1914 after an argument with the contractor. The planned changes were essentially cosmetic rather than structural, and the project was cancelled soon after.
