The main landmark of the city, the cathedral boasts one of the largest stained glass windows in the world (the rose window), with 1,236 coloured glass pieces and measuring 11 metres across.
Below the towering cathedral lies the ancient Almudaina Palace (Palau Almundaina), dating from the Moorish occupation, it was later remodelled by the Christian kings. Another of Palma de Mallorca’s major attractions is Bellver Castle, located 3 km from the centre of the city, it was started in 1309 in the times of Jaime II.
