cathedral's terraces
Palma Cathedral boasts the largest Gothic rose window in Europe, measuring nearly 14 meters in diameter and made of over 1,200 pieces of stained glass. This masterpiece creates a kaleidoscope of colors, earning the cathedral its nickname, "Cathedral of Light."
Twice annually, on February 2 and November 11, the morning sun aligns perfectly with the cathedral's rose windows, projecting a luminous figure-eight pattern inside. This captivating event, known as the "Festival of Light," draws visitors eager to witness this unique interplay of architecture and nature.
In 2007, renowned Mallorcan artist Miquel Barceló transformed the Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament with a striking ceramic mural. Depicting the biblical miracle of the loaves and fishes intertwined with marine motifs, this modern addition offers a vibrant contrast to the cathedral's Gothic elements.
Between 1904 and 1914, architect Antoni Gaudí undertook significant restorations, including relocating the choir, introducing new stained glass windows, and designing a unique baldachin resembling a crown of thorns above the altar. His interventions harmoniously blend Gothic tradition with modernist innovation.
Ascending the cathedral's bell tower rewards visitors with panoramic views of Palma and the Mediterranean Sea. The tower houses nine bells, with the largest, "N'Eloi," weighing over 4,500 kilograms, adding to the cathedral's majestic presence.
The cathedral's museum showcases a rich collection of liturgical artefacts, sculptures, and paintings spanning centuries. Highlights include the Gothic and Baroque Chapterhouses and the Sacristy of the Vermells, offering insights into the cathedral's historical and artistic evolution.
