Castell de Bellver
Carrer Camilo José Cela, s/n, Ponent, 07014 Palma, Illes Balears, Spain
+34 971 73 50 65
Castell de Bellver is a striking 14th-century circular Gothic castle perched on a wooded hill above Palma. Renowned for its rare round plan and central courtyard, it now houses the Museu d'Història de Palma and combines evocative medieval architecture with panoramic views over the city and bay.
What Makes It Special
The castle's unusual circular layout—with concentric ramparts and a central courtyard—creates uninterrupted 360° viewpoints, making the building itself as much a highlight as the museum exhibits.
Insider Tips
Walk up through Parc de Bellver and aim for late afternoon or sunset for the best light and fewer crowds; wear comfortable shoes as the approach and interior include steep paths and steps, and note the site is not wheelchair accessible.
