Royal Palace of La Almudaina

The Royal Palace of La Almudaina in Palma de Mallorca is a medieval royal alcázar converted into a palace and still an official residence of the Spanish royal family. The present appearance dates largely to 14th‑century remodelling of an earlier Muslim fortress, with later additions to the upper floor. It stands beside Palma Cathedral overlooking a raised terrace planted with palms.

The shape it held in its prime.

A compact rectangular stone palace of warm beige Mallorcan limestone, dominated by two square crenellated towers flanking a tall central keep; the main façade rises from a raised curtain wall and terrace planted with palm trees. The front presents a two‑tiered loggia: three large semicircular arches at ground level, a recessed arcade of narrow rounded arches on the floor above, and a row of arched windows beneath a tiled roofline. The masonry is regular ashlar with medieval battlements and a compact, fortress‑like silhouette.
