Where can I find the best spots for taking photos of Palma Cathedral?

Capturing the stunning silhouette of Palma Cathedral is easiest when you plan around the day's light and nearby viewpoints. One of the best places to photograph La Seu is from the Parc de la Mar, situated just below the cathedral. The large reflecting pool there creates beautiful mirror images at sunrise or sunset, while the open space allows for unobstructed shots of the gothic façade framed against the Mediterranean sky.

A short stroll across the old bridge over the Riera offers a different perspective, where you can include both the cathedral and the charming riverside architecture in your frame. For a wider panorama, head up to Bellver Castle, perched on a hill southwest of the city center. From its terraces, the cathedral dominates Palma’s skyline, with the bay and Tramuntana mountains beyond, perfect for golden hour captures.

If you're willing to venture a bit further, the winding Ma-10 road through the Serra de Tramuntana provides several pull-offs with views back towards Palma, especially near the town of Valldemossa. Each spot offers unique angles combining nature, sea, and architecture. Early morning or late afternoon light enhances the warm colors of the cathedral’s stone and the surrounding cityscape, making these times well worth the visit.
