Perched atop a wooded hill with sweeping views of Palma, Bellver Castle (Castell de Bellver) stands as a unique architectural gem from the 14th century. Commissioned by King James II, this castle is renowned for its circular design, a rarity among Spanish fortifications. Over the centuries, it has served multiple roles, including a military prison and a mint. Today, the castle houses the City History Museum, offering visitors a chance to explore its rich past and enjoy the panoramic vistas from its ramparts.
