 The first thing that greets you when you enter Palma by sea or land is the majestic La Seu Cathedral, which is considered the crowning gem of Palma. The beautiful Gothic cathedral is a historic landmark and an architectural masterpiece dating back to 1229 when its construction was ordered by King Jaume I of Aragon. Right next to the cathedral is the 13th-century royal palace of L’Almudaina which stands majestically drawing tourists from around the world to admire its history-filled walls. These two buildings are surrounded by the old city walls and behind them you’ll discover the old city or Arab Quarter where you can find traces of the city’s ancient medieval history and Moorish roots.
