Skip-the-Line Tickets to the Royal Palace of Al Mudaina

A fortified palace located in the city of Palma, the capital of Mallorca, the Royal Palace of Almudaina was constructed at the beginning of the 14th century. Due to its location on an elevated position overlooking the Bay of Palma, the palace held great strategic importance over the years. Currently, it is one of the main attractions of the region.

‘Almudaina’ comes from the Arabic word ‘fortress’, and the Arabic influence can still be seen in parts of the monument.
