Enchanting Beaches

La Seu: Palma's Cathedral

La Seu is undoubtedly a symbol of Mallorca and a must during your stay in Palma. Legend has it that King Jaume I departed Salou to conquer Mallorca. On the 7th September, a storm severely threatened his ships. The king begged God to rescue him from the storm and promised to build the most beautiful church in his honour when he reached the coast: Palma's cathedral.

 

THE CITY'S SYMBOL

Located in between the Almudaina Palace and the Episcopalian Palace, the magnificent Cathedral, also know as la Seu, stands on the site of an ancient arabic mosque. It is well known for its huge dimension, the gothic temple measures 109,40 metres, 40 metres wide and has the biggest mosaic in the world. The first kings of Mallorca were buried on this site.

 

GAUDÍ AND BARCELÓ, BRILLIANT CONTRIBUTIONS

The modernist artist Antonio Gaudí made some significant contributions to the Cathedral from 1904 to 1914, when he restored the interior of the Christian temple. More recently, Miquel Barceló, the Mallorcan artist, decorated "La Capilla del Santísimo" with a mural inspired by three passages from the Bible.

 

PARC DE LA MAR

For centuries, la Seu was the only Cathedral in the world that was reflected on the sea. This happened once in again in 1980 when the Parc de la Mar was built. The park offers a panoramic view of the Cathedral and the Palacio de la Almundaina

During the summer months, the city council organises "Cinema a la Fresca en el Parc de la Mar", where you can see films on a giant outdoor screen with a view of the Cathedral. A unique experience.

 

TOUR GUIDE

The Cathedral is a place of worship. Tourist tours are not allowed during mass. On working days you can access the Cathedral through the museum located on the north side.

The magic creek “Ses Fonts Ufanes”

Not far from the chapel of “Sant Miquel”, in the village of Campanet, nearly every year a unique hydrological phenomenon occurs. In Rainy autumns and winters, as if by magic, incredible fountains of water flow out of the ground at the Finca Gabellí, they can reach a volume of 100.00 liters per second. They are the known as “Ses Fonts Ufanes”. This interesting phenomenon, which has been classified as a Natural Monument by the local Baleares Government is as impressive as difficult to see, as this only happens three to seven times a year, when sufficient water has been accumulated in the peak of Puig Tomir and surroundings.  For this reason, every time this wonder occurs, many spectators and excursionists visit the site to take photographs.
