Plaza Sights in Mallorca

The small and charming square of Plaça Cort, located in the heart of the city, is famous for the ancient olive tree ('Olivera de Cort') that stands in the centre.

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.

This traditional town square is located in the heart of Pollença and is the centre of the town's social and commercial life.

For more than a century this short, tree-lined promenade has been at the heart of city life; it has witnessed fiestas, demonstrations and countless generations of families enjoying an evening stroll. During the Franco era it was renamed after the dictator, but everyone still called it 'the Born'.

The Plaça Major is Palma's main square. This rectangular space surrounded by traditional yellow buildings with green shutters has been the centre of the city life throughout the centuries.
