Erected in 1309, The Castle of Bellver is situated two kilometres away from Palma's city centre, on top of the wooded hill that dominates the bay. This ancient castle is well preserved and now houses on its lower floor the Museu Municipal, where you can find several archaeological objects as well as old coins. Also, a number of rooms on the first floor are open to the public. The Castle of Bellver also houses the Despuig Collection of Classical Sculpture. These two museums takes you through the all history of Palma from prehistoric times to the present.

Its circular plan points to the influence of Eastern models. Its unusual shape and the delicate arches inside the Castle lend it an ornamental, rather that defensive, appearance. From here you have the best view of Palma. In fact, for only 2€ you can visit the flat roof of the castle and have amazing 360º views of the city, its bay and the countryside.
