Why Almudaina Palace matters
The Royal Palace of La Almudaina sits just next to the cathedral and was originally a Moorish fortress. Later, it became a residence for the kings of Mallorca. Today parts are open to visitors, who can see Gothic halls and tapestries. The gardens facing the sea are a nice place for a walk.
