Directions
The Royal Palace of La Almudaina in Palma de Mallorca began as an Arabian fort and later became a royal residence, reflecting the island’s changing rulers and cultures. Its architecture brings together Moorish and Gothic elements: the fortress-like exterior recalls its defensive origins, while the stone halls and ceremonial rooms speak to its later courtly role. The palace remains in use by the royal family for official events, so it is more than a preserved monument. Inside, visitors can see historic rooms and tapestries; from the upper levels, views extend across the bay of Palma. Beside Palma Cathedral, it forms part of the city’s distinctive historic waterfront.
Before you enter
- Check current opening hours before setting out; the listed schedule has the palace closed on Mondays.
- Allow time to see the neighbouring cathedral while you are in the area.
- Bring water for the walk through Palma’s historic centre, especially in summer.
What to expect
- Look for the contrast between the palace’s fortress-like exterior and its ceremonial rooms.
- Expect stone halls, historic tapestries and views toward the bay.
- Some rooms may feel sparsely furnished; the architecture is a major part of the visit.
During your visit
- Pause at the upper-level viewpoints to take in the bay of Palma.
- Notice how Moorish and Gothic details sit alongside one another.
