Here you have an impression that you could hug all the city with its narrow streets, picturesque houses, cathedrals and squares. Such panoramic views always make a wonderful background for the photos and also can be considered as an independent work of art.
Another worth-seeing attraction is a Gothic Cathedral of Palma, which is often called the Pearl of the city. Here you can see and take a picture of splendid stained-glass windows. But the main treasure of the Cathedral is the reliquary if the True Cross covered with laces of different jewels.
