Mallorca attractions: Bellver Castle
Bellver Castle, situated on a hill overlooking Palma, is a unique fortress with a circular design, making it one of the few of its kind in Europe. Built in the 14th century for King James II of Mallorca, the castle served various purposes, including as a royal residence and military stronghold. Its strategic position affords panoramic views of the city and the bay. Today, Bellver Castle stands as a historical gem, hosting cultural events and housing the City History Museum.
