A jewel of Gothic architecture overlooking the sea.

The cathedral is built over the city walls of Palma de Mallorca's old town.

Construction of this building began during the reign of Jaime II, and it comprises three naves. The main nave is home to the Trinidad chapel, where the remains of kings Jaime II and Jaime III are laid to rest. Highlights on the façade include the main door and the south door or Mirador, especially interesting for its decoration, featuring sculptures by Guillermo Sagrera. The Mirador door is spectacularly beautiful on account of its carvings of geometrical and plant motifs, while the main doorway is supported by four majestic columns. The reforms carried out by the architect Antonio Gaudí in the early 20th century are another of the attractions of this building, as are the works by the artist Miquel Barceló in the Santísimo Chapel, with a huge ceramic mural, stained glass windows and the furnishings. The cathedral of Palma de Mallorca also has a tower with nine bells. It is particularly worth noting the size of the bell known as "N'Eloi", which measures two metres in diameter and weighs 4,517 kilos.
