Where can I find the best spots to photograph Palma's cathedral?

Recent efforts to pedestrianize parts of Palma’s old town and improve public spaces have made viewing the cathedral even more enjoyable. For classic shots of La Seu, the viewpoint from the Parc de la Mar is unbeatable. Situated just below the cathedral, it offers sweeping views across the lake and captures the stunning Gothic spires against the Mediterranean backdrop. Early evening light in particular brings out the warm golden tones of the sandstone, ideal for photography.

A short stroll along the Passeig des Born leads to another charming angle where you can frame the cathedral amid bustling cafes and historic façades. For a quieter, elevated perspective, climbing the nearby Bellver Castle hill lets you photograph the cathedral backed by the bay and cityscape below. Additionally, wander down to the esplanade by the old harbor where reflections of La Seu shimmer softly at dawn. These vantage points combine iconic architecture with local vibrancy, ensuring memorable images that tell the story of Palma’s heart.
