Free Tour of Palma Eterna: The Five Walls
♡ Save


Discover the hidden history of Palma! Join this tour through its ancient walls and relive the birth of the city through palaces, cathedrals, synagogues, mosques, and streets full of legends.
Palma, since its first settlers, has been a special place. We will know its first settlements and the time of its foundation by the Romans. The city grew and created its belts to protect itself. A military camp, a Roman city, a Muslim medina, new walls, a medieval city, a Renaissance and modern city that finally needs to open up and free itself rather than protect itself.
We will know the key moments that marked its history. All these changes left their mark on Palma and created a city with a very special personality; seafaring, but protected from the sea, closed, but welcoming of very different cultures; straight Roman streets, narrow and twisted Muslim and medieval, modern avenues, royal palaces, stately palaces, churches, mosques, synagogues, bastions and forts enveloping each city to the previous one and many corners full of history and stories, some to remember and others that, almost better to forget.
