Catedral-Basílica de Santa María de Mallorca

The Catedral-Basílica de Santa María de Mallorca, affectionately known as La Seu, is a masterpiece of Gothic architecture. Its construction began in the 13th century on the site of a pre-existing mosque. For photo-travelers, it presents an unparalleled opportunity to capture the stunning rose window, one of the world's largest, which creates a spectacular play of light inside the nave. The cathedral overlooks the Parc de la Mar, offering breathtaking views against the backdrop of the Mediterranean Sea, especially enchanting during sunrise and sunset. Don’t miss the modernist touches added by Antoni Gaudí in the early 20th century, particularly the wrought-iron canopy over the main altar. The juxtaposition of the ancient structure with Gaudí’s modernist elements provides a unique photographic experience. Best lighting is in the morning when the sun illuminates the facade and the sea provides a serene backdrop.
