Bellver Castle

Bellver Castle is a 14th-century circular Gothic castle on a wooded hill west of Palma de Mallorca, built as a royal residence for the Kings of Majorca. Its plan is a round curtain wall with a circular inner courtyard surrounded by a two-storey palace and several round towers, including a larger donjon linked by a high bridge over a surrounding moat.

As it stood in 1311

The shape it held in its prime.

A near-perfect circular stone fortress of pale local rock set atop a wooded hill, with a round outer curtain wall pierced by evenly spaced narrow windows and topped by crenellated battlements; three smaller cylindrical towers ring the curtain and a larger cylindrical donjon stands attached by a high bridge over a surrounding moat. The interior is built as a two-storey ring around a circular central courtyard with a well at its centre and a gallery of Gothic semicircular arches facing the yard.
