Description

The Castell de Capdepera is a historic castle monument in Capdepera, in the north-east of Mallorca.

Layout and Character

This 14th-century castle sits high above the old town of Capdepera and can be spotted from a great distance. Within its well-preserved walls you'll find informative historical panels, a small exhibition area dedicated to the traditional craft of weaving with palm leaves, and a chapel housing a statue of the Virgin Mary that exudes a quietly special atmosphere. Most of the explanatory texts are also available in German.

The View

From the highest point of the site, the views stretch out over the town of Capdepera, across the inland hills and down to the coast. On a clear day, you can even make out the island of Menorca on the horizon.
