5 Most Iconic Buildings in Palma

Palma, with its narrow-cobbled streets, imposing cathedral, historic buildings, and urban beaches, is a city that attracts travelers from all over the world.

The majestic Gothic cathedral rises above the horizon like a brilliant jewel adorning the harbor, and the sunlight reflects off the pastel colors of the old buildings.

Bars and restaurants in lively plazas and streets offer delicious tapas and glasses of local wine, while fashion shops and boutiques invite you to explore and discover hidden treasures. In markets and craft shops, you can find unique products made by skilled hands.

As night falls, the rhythm of the city changes. Trendy bars, nightclubs, and clubs fill up with people enjoying music and good company.

But Palma is much more than just a city. It is a territory where anything is possible. A place that perfectly combines culture, history, sea, and nature in one spot. Its beauty and charm will captivate you and leave you wanting to come back again and again.

From Monport, we recommend that you visit the five most iconic buildings in the city:

1.The Cathedral of Santa Maria of Palma/The Cathedral of Saint Mary of Palma, also known as "La Seu," is an impressive Gothic building located by the sea. Its construction began in 1229 and was completed in the 17th century.

2.The Castle of Bellver/The Bellver Castle is a circular castle from the 14th century situated on a hill overlooking the city. And although it was built as a fortress and prison, it is now a museum and cultural center that hosts different city events.

3.The Royal Palace of La Almudaina is a royal palace built in the 13th century, originally as an Arab fortress. Now it is the official residence of the Kings of Spain in Mallorca.

4.The Lonja of Palma is a beautiful Gothic building that used to be the city's stock exchange. Now it is a space for exhibitions and cultural events.

5.The Plaza Mayor of Palma/The Main Square of Palma/ Palma’s Main Square is a beautiful square surrounded by historic buildings. It is a popular spot for tourists and locals alike.

These are just some of the most beautiful iconic buildings in Palma, but the city has many other architectural gems waiting to be discovered.
