History, Architecture and Legends of Palma de Mallorca

Palma is a city to enjoy at a low pace. Nowadays even travellers or holidaymakers are time dependent and this fact leads not to pay attention to architectural or historical aspects which don't let them to have a real vision about what Palma is and can offer.

If you simply look up, there is a new universe to discover. Creatures that for centuries have been active part of the city shaping its personality based on histories and legends transmitted from one generation to another.

Es Drac (dragon) de na Coca, Sa Rata Pinyada (Bat), Sant Jordi I es drac (Saint George and the Dragon), the salamander and the snail, the Lion of the Bennaser family. These are some examples of the beasts integrated on the architechtural world of Palma.

The Bellver castle and the Cathedral of mallorca

Have you ever heard about dinasties, betrayals, natural disasters, dark secrets and alliances?

Of course! Apart from "game of thrones", here in Mallorca we we keep two incredible buildings that have seen great events of our history since the famous Catalan-Aragonese conquest.

This tour you are going to be fascinated by two wonderful monuments built from the Christian occupation. The Cathedral of Mallorca is according to Santiago Rusiñol that said once "From outside you will see its armour, but get in and you will see its soul!" He said that there was no other temple that with more simplicity of means had reached such beauty.

Then we will admire the Bellver Castle It was conceived as a palace-fortress where the leaders could take refuge with security guarantees in case of danger but they also used it for long stays, parties and other events. Anyway, despite its defensive nature the interior denotes an elegant and refined taste for your eyes. Something worthy of a royal residence.

Tickets for the Cathedral and the Bellver Castle included.

Monsters and Creatures of Palma - Private Tour

We are always so hurried that we forget we are surrounded by eyes that observe us from above. Small beings that inhabit the buildings' stones of the city watch us day and night. But we ignore them.

I invite you to go inside a universe of mythological animals, demons, monsters, gargoyles, dragons and creatures of unimaginable forms. We will visit Palma in a very different way than the usual. We will not focus on the most emblematic monuments and buildings of the city, but on their extravagant tenants that, always with a curious look, watch over us from his elevated houses.

Old aristocrat manors, churches, squares, fountains, façades, statues… any of them is a good place to find monsters and creatures in Palma. And all of them are excellent reasons to stop looking at the ground and to look always upwards to discover new secrets hidden in our beautiful city.
