Bellver castle Palma de Mallorca Majorca Balearic Spain. Bellver Castle is a Gothic-style fortification located about three kilometers from the Spanish city of Palma de Mallorca, in the Balearic Islands. It was built at the beginning of the 14th century by order of King James II of Majorca. It is located on a hill 112 meters above sea level, in an area surrounded by forest, from where you can see the city, the port, the Tramuntana mountains and the Llano de Mallorca; in fact, its name comes from the old Catalan bell veer, which means "beautiful view". One of its peculiarities is that it is one of the few castles in all of Europe with a circular plan, being the oldest of these. It currently belongs to the Palma City Council, and it houses the History Museum of the city of Palma, which is why it is open to the public.
