Plaça Major (Main Square), Palma de Mallorca

Highlight • Settlement

On the beautiful, rectangular Plaça Major, the main square in the Upper Town, which is seamlessly framed by yellow-painted facades and arcades, tourists are almost among themselves.

The Basilica of St. Michael (Spanish Basílica de San Miguel) is a church in the old town of Palma on Mallorca, Spain. The church, in the Diocese of Mallorca, is dedicated to the Archangel Michael and holds the title of a minor basilica.

San Miquel was built after the Reconquista from 1229 onwards. The church is said to stand on the site of the great mosque of Madina Mayurqa, but no traces of it remain.
In 1390, a larger new building was constructed in the Gothic style. What remains of it is the facade with the image of the Archangel Michael and the bell tower on its square base.
From 1632, the church was enlarged again and redesigned in the Baroque style.
In 2018, the church was elevated to the rank of a minor basilica by Pope Francis.


The single-nave church with its side chapels has a Gothic portal, begun in 1398 by the sculptor Pere de Sant Joan, with the sculpture of Ramon Llull on the upper left being particularly striking. The tympanum depicts a Virgin with Child and two angels.
The Gothic bell tower is also preserved, crowned by a typical Mallorcan pyramid roof with a cross.


The vault of the choir features a striking painting by Jaume Morey.
The altarpiece of the high altar is by Francisco de Herrera, dominated by the figures of the three archangels. On the sides of the main altar are two large paintings by the artist Juan Muntaner Cladera.


The church also forms the sanctuary of Maria de la Salut, the patron saint of Palma revered by the Majorcans. In the third side chapel on the right is an image of the Mother of God with Child, which, according to tradition, was brought to Palma by James I, as is also depicted in a painting in the chapel.

Palma's old town is magnificent. Small, winding streets where you can experience both the old Palma and modern shops.

You should plan to spend at least a day there.

Fountain at Plaça de la Reina

Highlight • Monument

The "Plaça de la Reina", built in 1863, is located at the end of the Paseo del Borne west of the cathedral in the historic center of the island's capital, Palma. In the middle of the square is a round fountain surrounded by a flower bed in honor of Joan Alcover. In addition, there are some ombú trees in the complex that are otherwise only native to South America. Furthermore there is a stand for the coachmen from Palma.

Steps to Bellver Castle

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

It's quite steep and long. Prepare to sweat!

Passeig de Sagrera

Highlight • Trail

A footpath under the ramparts, which one can leave by awfully small stairs to climb the wall. Particularly recommended is the Museum of Modern Art, which is easily recognizable by the visible sculpture of stacked boxes.

The land in front of the fortress wall was artificially wrested from the sea. In the 60s and 70s, the Park de la Mar, the Park of the Sea, was created here. Parking spaces were originally planned here, due to the resistance of the population, among others. A. Miró was prevented from doing so.

Today I set out to explore the city of Palma de Mallorca. My goal was to visit the Castell de Bellver, the old town, and the cathedral.
First, I visited the Castell de Bellver, a medieval castle perched on a hilltop, offering breathtaking views of the city and the Bay of Palma. This view is well-earned after climbing the 463 …

Today we took the bus to Palma. First we walked through the city from the cathedral. It was much less busy than last July and it was pleasantly warm at 20 degrees. We then continued across the harbor to Castell de Bellver. A really worthwhile destination. Entry costs €4.

Today was a non-hike day. I took the bus to Palma in the morning and I've been to the Cathedral, the Palace and the Arabic Baths. Then through the shopping streets and then in the direction of the port, there were stalls and plenty of hustle and bustle everywhere. Today is the national holiday of the Balearic Islands 🇪🇦🥳
