Almudaina Palace

The building began as a Muslim fortress and was reworked as a royal residence in the 14th century. Spain's royal family still uses it for official events, and the rest of the time it is open as a museum. The rooms show tapestries, furniture and a Gothic chapel and hall.

What to look for

• The Gothic hall with its large arches
• Tapestries and period furniture
• The royal chapel
• Views over the sea wall and Parc de la Mar

Book a morning slot and visit the palace first, then cross to the cathedral. A free entry window applies on Wednesday and Sunday afternoons, with proof, so expect queues then.
