Castell del Bellver
Castell del Bellver
The round hilltop castle built in 1309 was the summer residence
of the kings of Mallorca during the short period in which the
island had a Royal family. The fortified castle with its double
moat also served as a prison. Today it contains Palma’s
Municipal Museum, displaying mainly archaeological artefacts and
old coins. There are also models of archaeological digs to be
seen.
