Catedral-Basílica de Santa María de Mallorca

The Cathedral of Santa María, a Gothic masterpiece, stands majestically over the Bay of Palma. Its construction, initiated in the 13th century, offers photo-travelers an imposing structure bathed in a unique light, particularly captivating during sunrise. Notable for its large rose window, one of the world's biggest, it allows a kaleidoscope of light to fill its nave, creating mesmerizing patterns—a dream for photography enthusiasts. The cathedral's interior, partially redesigned by Antoni Gaudí, provides a blend of Gothic and modernist elements. The merging of light, architecture, and Gaudí’s touches offers countless photographic angles. Exterior shots during the golden hour capture its sandstone walls glowing against the skyline. Crucial spots include the Parc de la Mar for full facade views and the terraces of Almudaina Palace for elevated angles. Remember, tripods might be restricted inside, so plan for hand-held shots or consider a monopod.
