  • This aristocratic mansion has one of the most elegant of the famous Palma patios, with fabulous wrought-iron railings, a Gothic stairway and graceful balustrades.

  • Peep in on another of Palma’s grand courtyards, with Corinthian columns and balustraded balcony. Its sumptuous library, filled with scientific instruments from the Enlightenment era, is sometimes open.

  • Includes art and sculptures by Cézanne, Gauguin and Picasso.

  • Built in the mid-1200s in Gothic style, the church was completely remodelled in the 19th century and contains one of the most bombastic altarpieces of them all (see also Església de Santa Eulalia, Palma).

  • Two striking examples of Palma’s Modernista architecture. L’Aquila combines Catalan Modernista elements with Viennese tendencies, while Can Rei owes much to Antonio Gaudí.

  • Includes works by Picasso, Dalí, Miró and Juan Gris (see Museu d’Art Espanyol Contemporani, Palma).

  • The park next to the cathedral is a popular spot, with a lake, cafés and open-air concerts (see also Palma’s Walls (Walk) & Parc de la Mar, Palma).

  • Plaça Cort

    With its elegant façades, including the town hall, and ancient olive tree, this is one of Palma’s loveliest squares.

  • This handsome, 15th-century seafront building was the city’s Exchange and is now a cultural centre.

  • A fortified gate marks the former entrance to the 13th-century headquarters of the Knights Templar, built when the wealthy brotherhood was in full power. The buildings are now privately owned.
