EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the breathtaking beauty and rich history of the heart of Palma, the capital city of Mallorca, Spain. The photograph, taken in 2013, showcases three iconic landmarks that have stood the test of time: the Cathedral Sa Seu (Seu meaning seat), the Almudaina Royal Palace, and the Bishop Palace. The Cathedral Sa Seu, built between 1299 and 1601, is a stunning Gothic architectural masterpiece, with its distinctive bell tower reaching towards the sky. Its construction began under King James II of Aragon, and it is dedicated to the Virgin Mary. The cathedral's intricate stone carvings, stained glass windows, and ornate interior are a testament to the artistic and cultural significance of the city. To the left of the cathedral lies the Almudaina Royal Palace, which was built in 1309 as a fortress and later expanded into a royal residence. The palace has served as a royal residence for various rulers throughout history, including James II of Aragon and King Ferdinand II of Aragon. Its impressive architecture, which includes both Gothic and Renaissance elements, reflects the diverse influences that have shaped Mallorca's history. The Bishop Palace, located to the right of the cathedral, is a more recent addition to the city's skyline, having been built in the 18th century. It serves as the official residence of the Bishop of Mallorca and is an elegant example of Baroque architecture. Together, these three structures form a captivating tableau of Palma's history, showcasing the city's unique blend of Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque architectural styles. The photograph invites us to explore the stories and secrets that lie within their walls and to appreciate the enduring allure of this enchanting Mediterranean city.
