The cathedral, also known as “La Seu” is built on the site of an Arab mosque. With its Gothic Towers this cathedral dominates the Bay of Palma and it is an astounding image whether you are approaching from the East, West or the sea. You enter through a side door, passing a small museum, head for the west portal and look down the long nave where light pours through the rose window one of the largest stained glass windows in the world. The columns are ringed with wrought-iron candelabra by Gaudi, his most controversial addition is the unfinished Crown of Thorns, created from cardboard and cork and suspended above the altar.
