Basilica of Saint Michael (Basílica de Sant Miquel), Palma de Mallorca

Highlight • Religious Site

The Basilica of St. Michael (Spanish Basílica de San Miguel) is a church in the old town of Palma on Mallorca, Spain. The church, in the Diocese of Mallorca, is dedicated to the Archangel Michael and holds the title of a minor basilica.

San Miquel was built after the Reconquista from 1229 onwards. The church is said to stand on the site of the great mosque of Madina Mayurqa, but no traces of it remain.
In 1390, a larger new building was constructed in the Gothic style. What remains of it is the facade with the image of the Archangel Michael and the bell tower on its square base.
From 1632, the church was enlarged again and redesigned in the Baroque style.
In 2018, the church was elevated to the rank of a minor basilica by Pope Francis.

The single-nave church with its side chapels has a Gothic portal, begun in 1398 by the sculptor Pere de Sant Joan, with the sculpture of Ramon Llull on the upper left being particularly striking. The tympanum depicts a Virgin with Child and two angels.
The Gothic bell tower is also preserved, crowned by a typical Mallorcan pyramid roof with a cross.

The vault of the choir features a striking painting by Jaume Morey.
The altarpiece of the high altar is by Francisco de Herrera, dominated by the figures of the three archangels. On the sides of the main altar are two large paintings by the artist Juan Muntaner Cladera.

The church also forms the sanctuary of Maria de la Salut, the patron saint of Palma revered by the Majorcans. In the third side chapel on the right is an image of the Mother of God with Child, which, according to tradition, was brought to Palma by James I, as is also depicted in a painting in the chapel.

Plaça de Cort and the Ancient Olive Tree, Palma Old Town

Highlight • Historical Site

Palma's old town is magnificent. Small, winding streets where you can experience both the old Palma and modern shops.

You should plan to spend at least a day there.

La Rambla

Highlight • Structure

There are Ramblas in several Spanish cities. It is said that this Rambla is nothing special compared to other Ramblas, such as the one in Barcelona (I also find some other streets worth seeing there), nevertheless it is one of the most famous promenades in Palma. The word Rambla derives from the Arabic word for sand and today means "road to the sea".

The Torrent Sa Riera flowed along here through the middle of the city as early as the Middle Ages. When there was heavy rainfall at Puig de Galatzó, severe flooding sometimes occurred here. In 1403, 1,500 houses were destroyed by the water masses and 5,000 people drowned in the floods. In 1613 it was decided to go ahead and redirected the torrent.
With moderate success: there were at least 4 other severe floods. It was not until 1850 that the diversion was channeled, which has since protected Palma from further flood disasters.

August 25, 2024,Palma-City-Ballermann-Aquarium

I'm currently in Mallorca 😋
After we started with a leisurely part and burned our putts, we had to take it "slower" today.

So we first went to the city of Palma, from there to Ballermann, where we met some familiar faces from the studio, nice, and then we went to the aquarium.

Used the bad weather in the morning to explore palma. Line 25 went from Arenal to Palma for €2. Strolled through the alleys from the cathedral to the city center. Walk along the harbor and take line 25 back to Arena. The beginning of the tour is missing and there is also a bus ride on the way back🙈

AVOID! The rout back is dangerous! Along fast roads with no pavement, around busy roundabouts with no pavement and not even pretty. Commercisl area and absolutely no reason to be there!

Palma city tour with a visit to the cathedral and a stroll through narrow streets.

June 13, 2024,☀️🌴 Palma de Mallorca - Stadtrundgang und am Meer entlang zurück 🍻

We decided quite spontaneously to visit Palma after breakfast today, as today was supposed to be the "coldest" day of our stay with 24 degrees.
We wandered through the city and enjoyed the very beautiful old town. 🤩 We were very impressed by the cathedral, so we also took a look inside.
We walked back along the promenade. The sun …
