There are several wonderful castles and fortifications on the island. Castell d ' Alaro, unfortunately, is ruined today. You can find the ruins on the hill of the settlement Alaro, which is located on the West coast of Mallorca. It was once an impregnable Moorish fortress, where an Arab General was able to hold out for two years after the Christian conquest of the island. The castle was destroyed in the XV century, but the former greatness is evidenced by the fact that it seemed to "break out" of the rock, towering over all the other green spaces. The best views of the castle can be found if you go along the Puig d'alaro road. Beautiful historical monuments are the towers of Torre del Verge (located in Bagnalbufara), as well as Torre de Canyamel (Capdepera), standing alone, like the indestructible defenders of the island.
Among the architectural monuments of Mallorca, it is difficult to distinguish one architectural building that could be safely called "the best". All the buildings are magnificent and were built with the greatest skill. For example, Palacio del Rei Sanc, nobles and famous personalities walked through its halls in the past. Among them — Frederic Chopin and George Sand, who chose the Palace as the place of their secret love meetings. Today, the music of the great composer plays here, classical music concerts are held, and you can learn the love story of two famous personalities. The interior of Majorca of the XIV century is preserved inside of the building. The Palace itself was built in 1309 and was originally only a hunting lodge. When expanded two years later, the building was more like a Palace. In 1399, the Palazzo was transferred to the Carthusian order.
