La Seu Cathedral, Palma de Mallorca
The stand-out landmark building of Palma
The glory of Palma - a magnificent Gothic cathedral whose sandstone walls and flying buttresses seem to rise out of the sea.

Plaça de la Llonja 
Plaça de la Llonja
A picturesque square in Palma’s old town
The square takes its name from Sa Llotja, the impressive Gothic market exchange building which overlooks it from one side. The decorative sandstone facade, contrasted with the lush green palm trees, makes for an idyllic setting. The plaza opens out towards the seaside promenade on one side and, on the other, tables and chairs from the surrounding restaurants spread out across the cobblestones. A great spot during the day and the evening.

Sa Llotja, Palma de Mallorca
Sa Llotja, Palma de Mallorca
Cultural Centre & Art Gallery
With twin turrets and an angel over the door, this 15th-century seafront building looks half-castle, half-church. In fact it is neither.

Parc de la Mar 
Parc de la Mar
Public space in front of the cathedral
Until the 1960s the sea reached up to the city walls, providing the perfect reflection for the cathedral. When the building of a new road changed all that, an artificial lake was constructed to reproduce the effect. The park around the lake is now a popular weekend and summer spot, with several cafes, a mural donated by Joan Miro and an art gallery in the vaults of the old city walls.

Palau March Sculpture Gallery
Modern & contemporary sculptures in a historical palace
Just next to the cathedral is the impressive Palau March (Bartolome March Foundation) with a great collection of 20th century sculpture.
