As you might knew, until the end of the 19thcentury, the historic center of Palma was completely surrounded by walls. If you ask yourself when were they built, well, the response should be quite open: they built walls in all periods, little by little.
Originally, there was a first Roman fortification, then the Arabs to expanded it, in the Middle Ages. Therefore, it reached its maximum splendor, it was rebuilt in the Renaissance and the story repeated for four times.
If we come back to our days, there is not much left but something of that fortification system of walls, towers, bastions and doors. In one of the most complete parts, in which there was a corner of the wall next to the bastion of Sant Pere, the contemporary building that hosts the Es Baluardis located. Moreover, it is there where you can find the museum of modern and contemporary art of Palma.
If it’s not your cup of tea and you choose not to enter the museum, take into account that the area around it is very beautiful and you can climb the wall and have a view of the cathedral. If you like beautiful landscapes, you cannot miss the walk under the walls and between palm trees in the Ronda Mojornand the Passeig de Sagrerauntil the “sign” of Palma, the new “selfie point” of the city.
