BOOK ACTIVITY

Royal Palace of La Almudaina

Carrer del Palau Reial, Palma, Illes Balears

Description

The Almudaina is the Royal Palace of Palma de Mallorca and one of the residences of the Spanish royal family. The castle is the result of the transformation of an existing Muslim fortress in the early 14th century whilst the upper floor was built in the 16th century under King Charles V. The latter is now decorated with objects and furniture from the 17th-19th century and used for formal occasions.

Access & Transport

The Palace faces the cathedral, in the historical center of Palma. Buses CC, 25 and 35 all stop within 100-200m.

Instructions & Recommendations

We suggest combining this attraction with a visit of the Cathedral and/or La Llotja de Palma.

Meta review

The palace is always listed in travel guides among the top attractions in Palma but, though online reviewers tend to have a positive experience, it is clearly not described as a thrilling one. Visitors enjoy the well-preserved structure, impressive halls and beautiful views over the bay but point out the relative lack of information and furniture (a few tapestries and paintings).

Environmental & Social

The running environmental footprint is low, and it helps maintain the town's architectural and historical heritages.

Conclusion

The Palau de l'Almudaina is the best opportunity you'll get to learn more about royalty and kingdoms when in the Baleares - but if you are not a history buff or do not enjoy castles more than that, then you can give it a miss.
