Castell de Bellver is a medieval circular castle and local history museum set on a wooded hill above Palma.

Architecture and Museum

This circular Gothic fortress, dating from the 14th century, is one of the most architecturally remarkable castles of its kind. Inside, a museum charts the history of Palma and Mallorca across several floors of exhibition rooms — with artefacts and multilingual labels throughout. Temporary exhibitions also feature alongside rooms dedicated to the history of the Mallorcan kings.

Views and Exploration

From the upper floors and battlements, you can take in sweeping views over Palma, the harbour, the bay, and on clear days as far as the Tramuntana mountains. The circular inner courtyard is also part of the route around the castle. A well-maintained path through the pine woodland leads up to the fortress.

Location and Getting There

The castle sits in the Ponent district, at Carrer Camilo José Cela s/n, on a hill at the western edge of Palma. You can arrive by car or on foot along a pleasant wooded path. Free parking is available directly on site, with paid parking and free street parking also nearby. The hop-on hop-off bus includes the castle as one of its stops.
