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.

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.
