Palma de Mallorca is the capital and largest city of the Balearic Islands and the island of Mallorca. It is the summer capital of all Spain and one of the most popular holiday destinations for Europeans. The city is located on the southern coast of the island on the Palma Bay

Palma de Mallorca was founded by the ancient Romans in 123 BC. Until the fall of the Roman Empire, it functioned as the main communication port with Africa and Spain. In 902, the city was conquered by Muslims and named Medina Mayurka. In 1229 it was recaptured by James I of Aragonese and renamed Ciutat de Mallorca. After the death of James I of Aragon, his son took over power, who began building many buildings in the city - incl. the cathedral. Palma was ruled by the Catalans until the 18th century, when Barcelona fell and passed into the hands of the Spaniards.

The modern history of Mallorca is primarily the development of mass tourism after World War II. Every year, over 20 million tourists fly to the capital of Mallorca.
