Bellver Castle

The castle was built in the 14th century for the kings of Mallorca and later served as a prison. It has a circular plan with a round courtyard in the middle and a separate tower, and a part of it is now used as a museum of the history of the city. The climb to the roof terrace is the highlight, with the whole bay below.

What to look for

• The round two-storey courtyard

Tip

Go in the morning and bring layers for the wind on the roof. In winter the castle shuts at 18:00 on weekdays, so go before the light fades.
