A Gothic Masterpiece
Bellver Castle stands as one of Europe's few circular castles, its distinctive Gothic architecture dating to the early 14th century when King James II of Mallorca commissioned this defensive fortress.
Strategic Vantage Point
Perched on a hill 3 km west of Palma's city center, the castle's elevated position offers commanding views across the Bay of Palma, the Tramuntana mountains, and the Mediterranean coastline.
Living History
Today, visitors walk the same stone ramparts that once housed royal garrisons, exploring the cylindrical keep, square towers, and central courtyard that have witnessed seven centuries of Mallorcan history.
