The Castell de Bellver is a unique and historic castle located on a hilltop overlooking the city of Palma.
Its circular design is distinctive among European castles, making it a notable architectural landmark.

Built in the 14th century, during the reign of King James II of Mallorca, the Castell de Bellver served as a royal residence, military fortress, and later, a prison.
Its strategic location atop a hill provided panoramic views of the surrounding
countryside and coastline, making it an ideal defensive position.

The main tower, known as the Torre del Homenaje is the tallest and most prominent feature of the castle.

In addition to its architectural significance, the Castell de Bellver is home to the Museu de Mallorca which is housed within its walls.
The museum features a diverse collection of artifacts, including archaeological finds, artworks, and historical objects, providing insights into the island's history and culture.
