Well, if all my posts lately have been focused on Palma, today I’m going to talk a little bit more about one of the most fascinating monuments that Palma has: it’s Cathedral. Undoubtedly, even if you’re staying in town for a short period, there is something that you cannot not see while in Palma: Palma de Majorca’s Cathedral.

If you’re afraid about the price, don’t worry, it won’t cost you that much, because la “Seu”, as it is known for the locals can be easily spotted, considering that it is situated in the downtown of the city. Needless to mention that its dimension is impressive and you can’t actually “skip” it.  Simply because there is no postcard that does not include it, no matter its beautifulness or its “kitsch” effect. One could say that it’s an iconic building, certainly representative for all the people from Palma. And this is right.

The grandeur of the church is in the many works of art that you will encounter when you go through it. There are practically all the centuries, brought up together: from a column of the Vthcentury of the old Paleo Christian basilica -of which nothing remains- incorporated in the altar to the much-criticized chapel of the Santísimoby Miquel Barceló, finished in 2007, passing through the Gothic, Baroque elements or the great reform of Gaudí.

We could say that its importance does not come from its dimension, but from the culture that it encompasses. This is why I truly recommend you to dedicate a bit of your time to find out a part of our cultural heritage, that this wonderful place represents.
