The Castle of Bellver is one of the few round castles in the world and the only one in Spain. It was built around the 1300s. It has served as a throne and also been used many times as a prison, even 100 years ago.
Today it is an impressive museum about the city of Palma and Mallorcan history.The castle is round in every way. The towers, the various levels, the arches...
There are outer walkways and an inner court. We were alone most of our time here. A group of Spainish tourists arrives as we are leaving.
The guys explore the castle while I take photos. There are so many things to explore.
On the lower level they are doing repairs and it does not make a pretty picture. Yet we could enjoy statues like this one.
Tucked behind latticed walls is an alter.
There are many rooms full of museum pieces from
The afternoon light coming through the castle windows made the pieces look stunning.

We say goodbye to another beautiful castle. How we wish we could have heard your stories.
