Palma, Regional capital on Mallorca island, Spain

The city extends along the southern coast of Mallorca, featuring a grand Gothic cathedral that dominates the skyline near the Mediterranean harbor.

Established in 124 BC as a Roman settlement named Palmaria, the city developed through periods of Roman, Byzantine, and Muslim control until 1229.

The old Arab quarter contains numerous art galleries, museums, and exhibition spaces that display works from local artisans and international artists.

The city center connects to Palma Airport through regular bus services, while the EMT bus network provides transportation across different neighborhoods.

The round-shaped Bellver Castle, constructed in the 14th century, remains one of the few circular castles in Europe.
