The cathedral’s terraces, accessible from the top of its bell tower, offer fascinating views of the Mediterranean Sea and Palma’s harbor, along with a birds-eye view of the Old Town’s labyrinthine streets. Once you reach the terraces, you walk out onto the flying buttresses and roof ledges and come face-to-face with the Gothic pinnacles that you’d earlier only be able to admire from below.
The path up the bell tower, which consists of about 200 steps, features fascinating graffiti and markings on the wall made by the watchmen and refugees hiding behind the cathedral’s walls a long time ago.
