In its capital, Palma de Mallorca, there is a mixture of history, culture and urban life that makes it an ideal destination to discover in a short period of time. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aumentur.app\/ver-fin-de-semana-palma-mallorca\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">weekend.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>In particular, f<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rant to the bay rises the <strong>Almudaina Royal Palace<\/strong>, The fortress is both a fortress and a palace.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For centuries millions of eyes have admired its solemn Gothic stamp, a symbol of the power of the kings of Mallorca and Aragon. But what you see is only half the story. From <strong>Aumentur<\/strong> we invite you to look beyond the Christian fortress and search for the echoes of those who lived there before, because the soul of an ancient Muslim fortress still survives here.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your <strong>Courtyard of Weapons<\/strong> reflects this dual character of the building by combining its fortified nature with the elegance of a royal residence. Moreover, its great Gothic halls, such as the monumental Tinell, and the fineness of the chapel of Santa Anna speak of a lavish court, of the festivities and ceremonies of the Christian monarchs who made it their home. This is the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.patrimonionacional.es\/visita\/palacio-real-de-la-almudaina\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> Almudaina<\/a> that presents itself to the world, imposing and majestic.

In its highest tower, <strong>Angel Tower,<\/strong> It is said that inside it King Juan I of Aragon housed a mysterious alchemist who spent his nights searching for the philosopher's stone, yes, the same one that Harry Potter was looking for in his first year, although he never set foot here.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In contrast, another of its watchtowers, the Tower of the Heads, recalls a darker past, as the heads of the condemned were exposed there.
