Bellver Castle
Palma, Spain

Bellver Castle’s circular plan makes the building itself the principal attraction. Its courtyard, towers and elevated position above Palma combine royal history with a clear architectural identity, rewarding a visit even before considering the city-history displays. Walk around the structure rather than treating it only as a viewpoint, and look at how the inner courtyard relates to the enclosing walls. Choose it for a focused heritage outing with a different perspective on the capital.
