Prepare to be transported back in time as we explore the opulent halls and discover the secrets hidden within these ancient walls, a true testament to Palma's rich heritage.

History & Background
Originally an Arab fortress, the Almudaina was transformed into a royal residence in the 14th century by King James II of Mallorca. It served as the seat of the Mallorcan monarchy and later became a residence for the Spanish royal family. Today, it stands as a powerful symbol of the island's complex past, blending Moorish and Gothic architectural styles.
Insider Tip
For the best light and fewer crowds, aim to visit the Almudaina shortly after it opens at 10:00 AM. Take your time exploring the upper terraces for unique photo opportunities overlooking the cathedral and the sea.
