#3 Bellver Castle (Palma) +1 rec 4/5

Located just three kilometers from the historic center of Palma, Bellver Castle towers over the city and bay from its 112-meter hilltop perch. This circular fortress is one of only four of its kind globally. Built in 1310 under James II, it functioned as both a royal residence and military prison.
