In this free tour through the three cultures of Palma, we'll follow the traces left by Muslims, Jews and Christians in the capital of Mallorca, an authentic journey into the island's medieval past!
Description
We'll meet at the indicated time at the Monumento a la Mujer. Then from this area of the port of Palma overlooking the sea we'll begin our tour to delve into the medieval past of the capital of Mallorca, marked by three cultures.
After a brief introduction, we'll stroll along the streets next to the Royal Palace of La Almudaina and the Cathedral of Santa Maria to learn about the historical evolution of Palma. From the Visigothic to the Andalusian then Christian eras we'll learn all about the island's varied past. And of course, we won't miss out the crucial period of the Reconquest, how it was carried out and what it meant for the island.
Next, we'll go into the old Call, Palma's old Jewish quarter, where we'll pass by the church of Montesión, built on the site of the city's old synagogue. Have you heard ever of the Wailing Wall? We'll visit this small wall that has survived from the synagogue where people leave notes much like in Jerusalem.
Finally, after a two-hour tour, the last stop will be at the Prince's Bastion, from where we'll be able to enjoy magnificent panoramic views of the bay of Palma.
