Description
The Creu de la Porta de Xara is a historic town-gate monument in Alcúdia in the north of Mallorca, and one of the best-preserved medieval fortifications of the old town.
Gate, Cross and City Walls
The Creu de la Porta de Xara marks one of the original entrances to Alcúdia's walled old town. The stone cross and its gate ensemble are beautifully preserved, and together with the medieval city walls they form a striking historic composition. You can walk along the top of the walls and take in views across the old town and the surrounding hills.
Old Town and Market
Inside the walls, the old town is car-free: narrow cobbled lanes, small independent shops, cafés, tapas bars and restaurants all add to the charm. Twice a week the area around the gate comes alive as a bustling market, with plenty of stalls to browse.
Location and Getting There
The monument is located at Plaça de Carles V, 2, in Alcúdia. Parking is available outside the city walls. Alcúdia is also reachable by public transport; if you're heading back by taxi, it's worth bearing in mind that waiting times can be longer.
