Palma de Mallorca Free Walking Tour

A two-hour introduction to the old town and the four cultures that shaped it: Roman, Muslim, Jewish and Christian. The walk starts at the façade of La Seu, one of the tallest Gothic buildings in Europe, where the guide explains why its great rose window is called the eye of the Gothic and what Antoni Gaudí changed inside.

Next door you see the Almudaina, a Muslim fortress that became the residence of the Kings of Mallorca in the 13th century. The route then winds through the old streets past the courtyards of noble houses and the main squares, and into the old Jewish quarter, where the guide tells how its community's mapmakers and merchants shaped Mallorcan life.
