What travelers say:

Bellver Castle. Built in the 13th century, it was originally a fortress and later changed to a mint and prison. It is 3 km from the center of Palma, 112 . 6 meters above sea level, above the bay and island of Mallorca. In 1330, King Jaime II ordered the construction, and 70 fixed workers, many women and slaves of the king participated in the construction, which lasted more than nine years. At the end of the 14th century, it was the residence of King Juan II, and many royal nobles and foreign heads of state have stopped here, including the current King of Spain and Queen Sophia. In 1717, it was converted into a military prison. The exchequer of the exchequer, Hovianos, was imprisoned between 1802 and 1808, and temporarily became a mint in 1821. In 1931, the State transferred the castle's buildings and surrounding woods to the Palma Municipal Government, which became the city's Museum of History and the Desbourg Museum of Classical Sculpture. Many cultural and ceremonial events were held here.
