Historic Sites of Pollença

Pollença’s history spans millennia, from the Bronze Age burial caves at Coves de l'Alzinaret to the Roman stone bridge of Pont Romà. The landscape is dotted with defensive architecture, including the 16th-century Talaia d'Albercutx watchtower and the medieval ruins of Castell del Rei. In the Tramuntana mountains, the "Cases de Neu" reflect traditional ice production, while the coastal La Fortalesa stands as a 17th-century military stronghold. These sites offer a comprehensive look at the architectural and strategic evolution of northern Mallorca.
