Palma Cathedral (La Seu)

Following the conquest of the Balearic Islands by King James I in 1229, the transformation of a Moorish-era mosque into the grand Catalan Gothic-style Palma Cathedral, known as La Seu, began. Overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, this cathedral’s golden sandstone façade, which took more than 400 years to complete, stands as the city’s most notable landmark. Today, visitors can explore its intricate architecture and historical significance, immersing themselves in the rich tapestry of Mallorca’s past.
