Palma Cathedral and Historic Sights
Visit the Historic Sights, see Palma La Seu Cathedral, Palace of Almundaina, La Lonja, Arab Baths and the famous Churches all in one day
Sightseeing
As the main Historic sights are located together in the heart of the City, you could visit almost all in one day. You could start at La Seu Cathedral, followed by the Palace of Almundaina. La Lonja could be your next stop followed by a stroll through the ancient streets to the Arab Baths and finishing at the Churches of Santa Eulalia and Sant Francesc.
La Seu Cathedral is the main event within the Historic Centre. Palma's distinctive landmark has the most amazing Gothic Architecture. The interior hall, specially designed by Gaudi, has beautiful stained glass windows. The famous largest round window, seen from afar, has just over 1200 pieces of stained glass. This is the focal point of the Cathedral and has to be seen to be appreciated. La Seu, which runs parallel to the seafront, is situated directly beside the Parc de la Mar lake. You can't miss the stunning structure of the Cathedral, whether arriving in Palma by car, boat or even by air if you happen to fly over the City. Check the Cathedral website for up to date information on opening times and pricing.
The Palace of Almundaina (Palace de L'Almundaina), the Residence of the Mallorca Royal Family, is situated directly beside the Cathedral.
