PALMA
CATHEDRAL
It's perhaps one of the more touristy activities
you can engage in, but visiting the Cathedral of
Santa Maria of Palma is hardly something you
want to skip. Also known as La Seu in Catalan,
the cathedral was constructed on the site of a
mosque over the course of nearly 400 years— be-
tween 1229 and 1601. Its awe-inspiring Gothic
façade is the city's biggest landmark and the inte-
rior, designed by Antoni Gaudí in the early 1900s
with installations by contemporary artist Miquel
Barceló, makes it one of the most unique cathe-
drals the world over. Oh, and make sure you get
there early to beat the ensuing afternoon crowd.
