Bellver Castle

About the place

Bellver Castle was built in the 14th century and stands as one of the few circular castles in Europe. Its architecture features three integrated towers and a separate keep connected to the main structure by a bridge. In the heart of the fortress lies a two-story courtyard with elegant arcades that blend Gothic and Renaissance styles. Throughout its long history, the building has served as a royal residence and a military prison, and it now houses the city's history museum. From the castle's upper terraces, visitors can enjoy a panoramic view of the harbor, the cathedral, and the vast Mediterranean Sea.
