Catedral o la Seu: From the outside, Palma’s 14th-century Gothic cathedral is undeniably impressive, with its uniform buttresses, the kaleidoscopic rose windows designed by Antoni Gaudí as part of an early 20th-century restoration, its pinnacles and the grand belfry hung with the giant N’Eloi bell. It weighs 11,000 lbs. All is reflected in the adjacent waters of the city’s Parc de Mar. Passing through the original 14th-century Gothic Portal del Mirador, the broad transept and apse open up, adorned with a mural by Miró, sculptures by Guinovart, and flanked by 18 chapels, of which the Capella de la Santíssima Trinitat is the oldest and most foot-worn home of the tombs of the Mallorcan Kings.
