Why Cathedral of Santa Maria, Palma matters
La Seu rises straight from the harbour wall, golden against the Mediterranean. Inside, one of the largest rose windows of any Gothic cathedral fills the interior with colour. Antoni Gaudi worked on the interior in the early twentieth century, and the artist Miquel Barcelo added a ceramic mural in the chapel. It's a must in Palma.
Talking points
- Gaudi worked on the interior early in the twentieth century.
- The rose window is among the largest in Gothic architecture.
- A modern ceramic mural by Miquel Barcelo is in a chapel.
