Catedral-Basílica de Santa María de Mallorca

The Catedral-Basílica de Santa María de Mallorca, a Gothic architectural marvel, is best photographed at sunrise from Parc de la Mar. The park offers a wide-angle view with the cathedral reflected in the water, making for an iconic shot. Late afternoon light accentuates its sandstone facade's intricate details. Inside, capture Antoni Gaudí’s and Miquel Barceló’s modernist contributions, particularly the altar and the Chapel of the Holy Sacrament. The play of light through the stained glass windows creates a mesmerizing effect, with the "Rose window" being a standout. Climbing the bell tower requires prior arrangement but rewards with panoramic views of Palma. Early mornings or late afternoons are ideal to avoid crowds and capture the cathedral in soft, natural light.
