What to do and see in Palma de Mallorca, Balearic Islands: The Best Architectural Buildings

January 19, 2022 Almeta Stockton

Palma, the economic and cultural hub of Majorca, is a delightful base for exploring the island's many gold and white beaches. A former Moorish casbah, or walled city, Palma's Old Town is an appealing maze of narrow streets that are a delight to explore on foot. Hop on the Soller Railway for a 17-mile scenic trip, visit 14th-century Bellver Castle and the museum of contemporary art, and check out the nightlife.

Edifici Casasayas

Reviewed By Hotel_III - Palma de Mallorca, Spain

These two buildings were designed simultaneously in 1908 and 1909, and are separated by a narrow street. The buildings have matching façades strongly influenced by Modernist and Art Nouveau styles. The famous Catalan architect Gaudí’s influence is also strongly evident in the parabolic window and doorway arches, as well as the undulating style of the building.

Convento de Santa Clara

Reviewed By Aperitif6 - Goettingen, Germany

Already last year we came here after we read about the Convento de Santa Clara in a guide book. The church is dark, with old paintings at the walls- peaceful and spiritually. As far as I read, the community of nuns is very small and they live from things that they plant in their gardens behind, which aren'topen for guests, from donations and the sweets that they sell. Sadly I've not been there around christmas, when they offer even more things. But all around the year, one can buy selfmade chocolate bars and cookies. Now in summertime, they also sold ice cream. It's just a nice experience the way how you buy the things, as the nuns don't show themselves. Who loves quiet special places should defenitely go there!
