Capdepera

One of the most impressive castle complexes above a historic village center

Medieval castle, historic alleys, and wickerwork craftsmanship

Capdepera is located in the northeast of Mallorca, not far from the coast, and is dominated by a striking castle hill. Inside and along the walls, you can discover medieval defensive architecture; on clear days, the views stretch far over the surrounding area. The ascending path to the castle connects the monument with a tour through the historic village center.

The parish church of Sant Bartomeu and the cultural center Melis Cursach are among the other stops. Traditional wickerwork and the processing of dwarf palms play an important role in the community. Capdepera should be distinguished from the touristy-maritime Cala Ratjada; Canyamel and the Caves of Artà are also separate excursion destinations and not immediate stops on the village tour.

What to Expect

• Castell de Capdepera and panoramic views
• Historic alleys at the castle hill
• Sant Bartomeu church
