Palau de l‘Almudaina

The Palace Almudaina (Palau de l'Almudaina) is directly located opposite the main facade of Palma´s Cathedral. Under Arab rule this was the seat of the emir, in the Middle Ages it was used as residence of the Majorcan kings and now it is mainly used as the headquarters of the military. A part of the palace is determined for audiences of the Spanish king, when he is in Majorca. The magnificent royal apartments can partly be visited. A mixture of Gothic and Moorish architectural style makes the charm of the palace. The Gothic hall with its high pointed arch, for example, is famous for its beauty. Here by today the King holds his official receptions.
