Accompanied by our English speaking guide, you will learn all about the Cathedral of Mallorca´s secrets. This masterpiece was first built over 800 years ago after the conquest of the island under the Crown of Aragon. “La Seu” as it is known, has been restored on several occasions. One of the best-known restorations is the one by the architect Gaudí; where the choir was moved and a baldachin of the main altar was created.
On this guided tour with tickets you will have the chance to enjoy during the summer months the views of the island from the cathedral and from the rose window which stands out for its size. Its 13 metre-diameter makes it the largest rose window among Gothic cathedrals. It is known as “the Eye of the Gothic” and its more than 1000 crystals light up the whole of La Seu bathing in thousands of colours.
This cathedral has a very special kind of magic, twice a year the so-called Show of Eight takes place where the light from Mallorca´s sun reflects through the main rose window and its reflection is then projected on the front wall. In this way, for a short time the reflection creates a second rose window; hence the double rosette phenomenon, producing a mixture of incomparable colours.
You needn’t worry about trying to get tickets for this visit, all you will have to do is enjoy it. Do you want to know the names of all La Seu´s bells? Another fascinating feature of this cathedral is that according to tradition each of its bells has its own name.
