The Royal Palace of La Almudaina stands adjacent to the cathedral as the official summer residence of the Spanish royal family in Mallorca. Originally a Roman castrum later fortified by the Moors in the 10th century, it was transformed into a Gothic palace under King James II around 1309.
The site has been continuously occupied since at least the 3rd century AD. The Moors built the original alcázar (fortified palace) which the Crown of Aragon later remodelled in Gothic style. It remains one of only two official residences of the Spanish Crown.
