Palma de Mallorca is the main city and capital of the island. One of the most popular islands in the world. It was estimated that 600,000 residents received 7 million tourists. Most hotels are 3 or 4 stars. That sounds great, doesn`t it? YESIM will tell you what to see, and you will show that to your relatives using YESIM Internet!

Almudena Cathedral

It was created on the ground floor of the bell tower and plays a role of home to a valuable collection of treasures of sacred art. It is also the only Spanish cathedral consecrated by the pope. Here the crown prince of Spain Philip VI was married in 2004. It is allowed to visit in any clothes, take pictures and make videos.

Palm Cathedral

It is the main architectural attraction of the city. The cathedral is famous not only for its impressive size and undeniable external beauty but also for its stunning interior designed by Antoni Gaudi and the famous artist Mikel Barcelo.

Church of Our Lady of Angels

Illuminated through a round rosette window, the interior has an unusual vaulted ceiling with extravagant ceiling frescoes and a magnificent, grandiose altar. The church was erected on this site shortly after the conquest of the island in 1229.

Basilica of St. Francis

It was built on the territory of the Franciscan monastery in the XIII-XIV centuries. The facade of the cathedral was completed only by 1700. Noteworthy is the irregularly shaped bunk gallery with graceful columns and vaulted ceilings inside the basilica.

Sineu Market

Every Wednesday from 8 to 13 hours on the main square of the small but beautiful town of Sineu, in the center of the island, one of the largest and most popular markets in Mallorca unfolds. It is said that at the beginning of the XIV century this market already existed and was an informal center of island life.
