Parc de la Mar

Parc de la Mar is a coastal park beside La Seu Cathedral in Palma de Mallorca featuring a large artificial saltwater lake. The lake mirrors the Gothic architecture and stretches along Renaissance city walls across approximately nine hectares.

Before 1970, the Mediterranean reached the city walls until construction of a new road led to the creation of this space. This transformation reshaped the shoreline and created a public area between the modern city and its historic architecture.

The space displays multiple art installations, including a mural by Joan Miró and stone sculptures that represent traditional mill wheels from the island. These works invite visitors to engage with local artistic identity and the craft heritage of the region.

Several cafes, children's play areas, and benches are spread throughout the space, which remains open year-round without entrance fees. Visitors should know this location is ideal for walking and offers good opportunities to photograph the cathedral from different angles.

During summer evenings, the space transforms into an outdoor cinema venue where visitors watch films with the illuminated cathedral as backdrop. This seasonal use makes it a special place for cinematic experiences under the open sky.
