Palma de Mallorca and its bay protect each other since the city was founded by the Romans, the first great moment of splendor of the Balearic capital came with the Arabs who expanded its Medina Mayurqa, harnessing it with gardens and labyrinths alleys that still survive today.
When the Muslim conqueror Isam al-Khawlani took control of the island in 903, the ancient Roman city of Palma was practically abandoned and in ruins. The Muslims adapted it to their needs by building inns, baths and mosques and although they initially partially respected the old urban layout, they quickly modified it.

On the death of Jaime I, who incorporated the island into Christianity and the Crown of Aragon, Mallorca was an independent court for a short but very fruitful period, that is when the Seu Cathedral was erected in front of the old Muslim Almudaina that became a palace. real. The cathedral mass seems to rise above the same air, the rough facade is transformed into light when the threshold is passed inside.
The impressive stained glass windows catch the sun to give free rein to the ships that delimit the powerful columns. You can start the visit with the Mallorca motorcycle rental in our Mallorca Office.

In the afternoon we will visit the old town of Mallorca to visit the stately courtyards, most of these mansions and palaces are usually buildings with a three-story structure, large mansions that well respond to the Mallorcan saying sa casa fa es senyor (the house does to the lord) where there are many staircases, large flowerpots and wells, without missing the bars through which we can enjoy the silent and cozy patios.
The stately courtyards were born in the Gothic centuries, when the narrow alleys of La Palma at that time forced to open wide and bright spaces within the mansions, in the 17th and 18th centuries the courtyards became the symbol of stately architecture Majorcan.
