Puig d'en Galileu, Mountain summit in Serra de Tramuntana, Mallorca, Spain.
The Puig d'en Galileu summit reaches an elevation of 1,181 meters and features extensive paths through Mediterranean oak forests and limestone formations.
The mountain paths were essential routes for coal transportation during the 18th century, with remnants of circular silos still visible along the trails.
The summit's name honors Antoni Català 'Galileu', the architect who designed and built snow storage caves in the mountain during 1692.
The hiking trail to Puig d'en Galileu begins at Son Macip or Font Coberta near Lluc parking area, following the marked GR-221 route.
Near the summit, hikers encounter the Voltes d'en Galileu, a series of curved paths leading to ancient snow caves used for ice preservation.
