City Sightseeing bus

Palma is a city, that is best visited walking, unlike other cities like Barcelona, in Palma all interesting stuff is within walking distance also they are areas where cars, and of course buses can´t go though, so to ride in the touristic bus here in Palma is not very good idea. You have to pay arround 14 euros, and the only thing nice that you are not going to see is Castle of Bellver.

Palau March Museum

This palace, once home of the biggest banker of the island (still is property of this family) is now a museum. But what is most impressive on this museum, are not the pieces inside, or the building, is the great view over the city that you will get when you enter in the house, worth paying the price of the entrance

Can Oleza

The courtyard of Can Oleza is one of the best kept in the city, the house also is very well kept. This house is still in the hands of the family that built it, in the renaissance, whereas you can´t make a visit inside the house (is still this family´s house) you will make a good picture. If you want so see how a house like that is inside, you have to keep going in that street and then turn left to Almudaina street, then left, you will find Can Marques is the only nice house in Palma, that can be visited, now is a museum

Can Oleza in the past.

This is and old print of Can Oleza, many visitors that have been in the island have made paintings, prints and oil paintings.

On Friday 23 of March 2007 Can Oleza there was a rumor on the city that the house had been sold to the businessman Vicente Grande, the owner of the Mallorca football team. Where as, there is many palaces in Palma, like this one, this one was considered a symbol for the mallorcan nobility the building was sold for 19.5 million euros. That day is a sad day for the neibourhood and for the city.

More

It happened the same with Bran Castle (Dracula Castle). Was property of the Habsburg Family but they sold it to an owner of a footbal team.

At the moment is not sure if the house at the end will end up in the hands of the actual family or will be sold. It is very uncertain. What is known for sure is that this house is part of the history of the city

The Cathedral of Palma is one of the best and most known monuments of Palma well worth a visit, just the local people of Mallorca do not have to pay, everybody else has to pay the nice thing about it, is that you have to pay but you can walk arround all the time you want, and make all the pictures you want, if you do not want to pay, or if you go when there is no tourist visit, you can go to the cathedral when there is mass, you will not have to pay at all but also you will not be able to wander arround because if you do somebody will tell you that you can´t do that.

Cloister of Sant Francesc

The cloister of Sant Francesc is the nicest cloister in Palma, recently restored, when you do the visit, you can see the cloister and the church of Sant Francesc, the visit will not take you long time but you have to see it, admision cost one euro. It is a little bit out of the path and a little less touristic, but you have to look well when is open, because most of the time is closed.

One of the kings of Mallorca, the first son of James II, gave up his right to be a king to become a monk of Sant Francesc. Another daughte of James II, Sancha queen of Napels, Sicily and Jerusalem.

Church of Sant Francesc

Sancha, made sure that the fanciscan order could install in Jerusalem and in Belen in the wholy places, and made sure that those monks always had money, so that they could prevail as they have done till the day of today there, so now in the headquarters of the franciscan order in Jerusalem there is a painting of the queen Sancha

In the past, before the christian conquest, Sant Francesc was an old mosq

The Complex of Sant Francesc we know today, is one third of what it was in the past. Due to a law called Desamortizacion two of the three cloisers were taken to the monks.

Cloister Of the Right, it used to be used as the prison of the city, this are the rest of the cloister.

Back Cloister, also taken away
