Palma Cathedral

posted by mswartzbaugh on 26 April 2011 at 09:13

Wow, what a magnificent building! You can clearly see its Moorish roots but there are some wonderful Gaudi touches that are totally unexpected and really add to the overall effect.

Sa Seu

posted by jswain on 1 December 2010 at 12:08

Built by modifying a former mosque as many churches in the moorish-turned-christian areas this cathedral was started in 1306 as a thanks to the seas for not letting Jaime I'sts fleets get shipwrecked, and was added to by the inimitable Gaudi in the 20th century. Amazing architecture both inside and out, I can see why it's one of the most important sights in the Balearics!

la Almudaina

posted by bdrennan on 19 October 2010 at 17:24

This is quite a magical building and all the more so for the fact that it still gets used in the summer months when the royal family holiday here. The initial structure was a Moorish palace but when the Moors lost control of Majorca, it became the seat of the independent monarchy of Majorca. You can see the fusion of Muslim and Gothic styles which are very interesting.

Soller

This little village is perched high up in the mountains, a fairly long winding drive from Palma. This said, the drive is enjoyable if a bit nauseating and the views from Soller make it worth it. There's a lovely little church here and a charmingly authentic traditional feel to the village.
