Porta de Mallorca

The Porta de Mallorca stands as one of three preserved entrances in the stone fortification walls measuring 6 meters in height around Alcúdia.

King James II ordered the construction of these defensive structures in the late 13th century to protect the city from pirates attacking from the Mediterranean Sea.

The gate represents the architectural heritage of Mallorca, connecting to a network of 26 watchtowers that formed the city's medieval defense system.

Visitors can access the walkable sections of the walls through this entrance, offering views over the old town with its stone houses and narrow streets.

The entire fortification, including the Porta de Mallorca, was built without using mortar, demonstrating exceptional medieval construction techniques.
