The La Seu Cathedral is a gothic style cathedral  and one of the best sights and landmarks in Palma.

Opposite the Cathedral, just across the Plaza de l’Almoina, is the Almudaina. Nowadays the H.Q. for the Balearics Military High Command, it began life as an alcázar (fortress/residence) of the Moorish Walis’ Caliphate (11th-13th centuries) before being converted into a palace by James II (14th century).

The Church of St. Eulalia, located in the square at the rear of the City Hall, was the first Christian church built in Palma and is a good instance of Catalonian Gothic. Sant Francesc, Santa Clara, El Socorro, Sant Miquel and Monti–Sion (on the site of an old synagogue) are further churches of note in the Old Quarter.
