Palma de Mallorca is located on the Spanish island of Mallorca (Majorca) in the Mediterranean. Nearly half a million people live in Palma, which dates back to the Roman era. The city has changed hands many times with each regime leaving traces in the culture and architecture of Palma, particularly its palaces and religious structures.

Bellver Castle, on a hill above Palma, is a circular castle built by King James II of Aragon in the early 14th century. It also served as the residence of the Kings of Mallorca. The castle has been used as a museum since 1931 and now hosts cultural events and concerts as well.

The Cathedral of Santa Maria of Palma, which residents call La Seu, was constructed beginning in 1229 over an existing mosque, a remnant of the years when Mallorca was under Muslim control (902-1229). The cathedral has one of the world’s highest church naves.

Palma is home to many other palaces and cathedrals.
