Palma Cathedral, also known as La Seu, stands on a site of great historical significance. Before the cathedral was built, this area was occupied by the Great Mosque of Medina Mayurca during the Arab period. In fact, when you start your visit with your tickets, we recommend walking all the way to the back of the cathedral and observing the main altar from a distance. You’ll notice that part of the floor in this area is slightly elevated; it is believed that sections of the former mosque extended up to roughly the middle of the current cathedral.
As you continue your visit, take time to appreciate the cathedral’s Catalan Gothic architecture and its extraordinary sense of space and light. One of the highlights is the intervention by Antoni Gaudí in the early 20th century. Our recommendation is to approach the main altar area and, about 20 metres before reaching it, sit on one of the benches. From there, you can calmly observe Gaudí’s baldachin (canopy) above the altar and the many liturgical elements he designed for this space, best appreciated from a seated, central perspective.
Towards the end of your visit, make sure to include the chapel featuring the monumental ceramic work by Miquel Barceló. Sit on one of the benches inside the chapel and take your time to observe the murals covering the walls. You’ll discover countless details, textures and symbolic scenes that are easy to miss if you rush through.
We also strongly recommend finishing your visit in the cloister, a quieter and often overlooked area that offers a moment of calm and reflection after exploring the main interior. Finally, don’t miss the Cathedral Museum, one of Palma Cathedral’s hidden gems. Many visitors skip it, but it provides valuable insight into the cathedral’s history, religious art and heritage, making it a perfect way to complete your visit.
Palma Cathedral Tickets · Reviews
Booking Palma Cathedral tickets with skip-the-line access was one of the best decisions of our stay in Mallorca. The entrance process was smooth and clearly explained, which saved us a lot of time compared to the long queues we saw at the ticket office. The cathedral itself is breathtaking. Taking time to explore the interior, the chapels and the museum really made a difference, especially after following the local tips about visiting later in the day. The light through the stained-glass windows and the rose window was incredible, and seeing Gaudí’s work near the main altar was a real highlight. Everything was well organised, from the ticket confirmation to the entry instructions. This ticket is ideal if you want to enjoy Palma Cathedral calmly, without rushing and without worrying about practical details.
Easy skip-the-line tickets for Palma Cathedral with clear instructions and a smooth entry experience.
We bought our Palma Cathedral tickets with Click Mallorca and the whole experience was very easy. Skip-the-line access worked perfectly and the information about opening times and dress code was very helpful. A great way to visit La Seu without stress.
The tickets online were great. We were able to go straight to the entrance for admittance as soon as it opened to this beautiful cathedral. Thank you.
We were apprehensive buying tickets on line whilst on a cruise. We shouldn’t have worried at all. Tickets were a very good price and entry was very smooth. Not too busy as we went early. Would definitely recommend click Mallorca.
Great experience, I recommend the audio tour device as an extra, amazing Cathedral!
So easy to book with click Mallorca Straight to the front of the queue at the beautiful cathedral… just showed them my confirmation email with booking reference number and we went straight in. Would highly recommended and will be using this site again.
Booked tickets to the Cathedral del Mallorca the night before port day. Confirmation email was received the following morning. Arrived to the Cathedral and checked into the “Online Ticket” entrance. Easy check in!
Sadly we turned up to visit the cathedral at 1430 and it had closed to the public at 1415. It was Easter Saturday however it wasn't disclosed on the booking when we made it. Having said that, on contacting ClickMallorca on my return and explaining the situation they apologised and have issued a full refund.
Beautiful cathedral well worth a visit
