Museu Diocesà
About This Museum
Tucked away on a quiet lane in Palma's old town, the Museu Diocesà feels like a secret you've just uncovered. It’s housed within a breathtaking 13th-century bishop's palace, where the ancient stone walls seem to whisper stories. I was completely captivated by the serene courtyard and the way the Mediterranean light filters through Gothic windows, illuminating centuries of sacred art. This isn't just a museum; it's a peaceful journey through the deep spiritual history of Mallorca.
Collection Highlights
Look for the hauntingly beautiful Gothic panel paintings and intricate wooden sculptures of the Madonna. I also loved the collection of historic ceramics, their vibrant glazes still brilliant after all this time.
Visitor Information
It's easy to miss the entrance on Carrer del Mirador, so keep your eyes peeled. A few euros gets you in, and it's a wonderful, quiet escape from the crowds around the cathedral.
Architecture & Building
A stunning example of medieval Catalan Gothic architecture, with characteristic pointed arches, robust stone construction, and a tranquil central courtyard.
