About Bellver Castle
Bellver is one of the few round castles in Europe, built in the early 14th century for the kings of Mallorca on a wooded hill west of the centre. It later served as a prison and now holds the city history museum. The rooftop walk gives a full circle of views over Palma and the bay.
