Historic Sites of Majorca

Majorca’s history is defined by its transition from Roman and Moorish roots to the Kingdom of Mallorca. This collection features the 14th-century circular Bellver Castle and the Gothic Palma Cathedral, notable for its massive rose window and interior modifications by Antoni Gaudí. The list includes the Almudaina Palace, a former fortress turned royal residence, and the 15th-century maritime trade center, Sa Llotja. Beyond Palma, the Serra de Tramuntana mountains offer UNESCO-listed terraced landscapes and historic coastal watchtowers like Torre del Verger.
