Free Tour History, Culture and Hidden Charms of Palma

At the meeting time, we’ll gather at Plaza de España, right in the heart of Palma, and begin an unforgettable two-hour journey through the city’s rich and fascinating past.

This experience is much more than a sightseeing tour. It’s an opportunity to discover the four great cultures that have shaped Palma over the centuries, Roman, Muslim, Jewish, and Christian, and to understand how their influence can still be seen in the city’s architecture, traditions, streets, and way of life today.

We’ll venture into the atmospheric streets of Palma’s historic centre. As we wander through its winding lanes, we’ll uncover beautiful traditional Mallorcan courtyards, hidden behind elegant façades and once considered a powerful symbol of wealth and prestige.

We’ll explore the exterior of the Cityhall, Council of Mallorca and Royal Palace of La Almudaina, among others.

We’ll finish at La Seu, Palma’s breathtaking Gothic cathedral and one of the city’s most iconic landmarks. Standing majestically beside the Mediterranean, the cathedral is renowned for its impressive architecture and spectacular rose window, famously known as the “Eye of the Gothic.” We’ll uncover the stories behind this extraordinary building and discover how the celebrated architect Antoni Gaudí contributed to the transformation of its interior.
