Religious & Historic Buildings
Mallorca is blessed with many majestic cathedrals and sacred religious sites, reflecting its Christian background. From the magnificent Palma Cathedral to Lluc Sanctuary - Mallorca's most sacred site - a former monastery in a spectacular setting in the Serra de Tramuntana. Moorish influence is also still visible in the Islamic architecture of the Palau de L'Almundaina and the Arab Baths in Palma.
Castles & Ruins
Not surprisingly for an island, Mallorca has a number of castles and watch-towers decorating its coastline. Castell d'Alaro, Castell de Bellver and Capdepera Castle are all worth a trip. The Bronze Age ruins of Capocorb Vell are the most significant remains of the Talaiotic culture and can be found to the south of Llucmajor.
Country Houses & Gardens in Mallorca
A number of grand manor houses are open to the public in Mallorca. They tend to have been owned in the past by rich noble families. Most have a little museum and beautiful gardens to wander around. The botanical gardens in Soller and Bunyola provide tranquil places to relax and enjoy and the former, in particular, are a botanists dream.
