Palma Cathedral

Located on the waterfront of Palma, Mallorca, this Gothic Roman Catholic cathedral is situated between the royal palace and the bishop's palace. Visitors go here to see the Gothic architecture and Baroque architecture, specifically the 14-meter rose window, which is the second-largest surviving Gothic rose window in existence.

Getting There

The cathedral is located within the historic center of Palma. From the city center, it is accessible via a short walk of approximately 5 to 10 minutes, depending on your starting point.

Time Required

Allow between 1.5 to 3 hours to explore the interior, the rose window, and the surrounding exterior grounds.

When to Visit

The site gets crowded, particularly during the peak summer tourist season. Visiting during the early morning or late afternoon can help avoid the largest crowds. Be aware that as an active place of worship, access to certain areas may be restricted during religious services.
