Car Rental Palma

Introduction:

Palma (in full, Palma de Mallorca), city in eastern Spain, capital of Baleares autonomous region, on the island of Mallorca (Majorca), on the Bay of Palma (an arm of the Mediterranean Sea). Palma home to multicultural people is situated southeast of Europe, in the central part of the western Mediterranean basin, a beautiful place called Majorca. Palma, standing on the southern tip of the island, rules as an autonomous government of the Balearic Islands.

History:

Palma was captured from the Moors in 1229. It has a Gothic cathedral, begun in 1230 and completed in the early 17th century, with a chancel canopy by Catalonian architect Antoni Gaudí. Other landmarks include a castle that was once a Moorish palace; a former Spanish royal palace located above the Bay of Palma; and the 13th-century church of San Francisco.

Legends say that Moors constructed Palma in the style of a "Casbah" or "walled city" and its roots are still visible, although obscured by the high-rise hotels that have cropped up.
