On the beautiful, rectangular Plaça Major, the main square in the Upper Town, which is seamlessly framed by yellow-painted facades and arcades, tourists are almost among themselves.

The surrounding houses are said to date back to the 14th century. However, they are certainly not all original. On the site where house number 5 stands today stood the birthplace of Ramón Llull (*1232), one of Mallorca's most famous figures. A plaque commemorates this. It was demolished approximately 200 years ago.

The Casa Negra, the seat of the Spanish Inquisition, stood in the middle of the square until 1823. Everything considered unchristian was condemned here, and sometimes even publicly burned. For example, witches, heretics, and Jews. The rulers forgot only themselves.

Large inner courtyard, but unadorned and overpriced. If you have a coffee, you should go to St. Eulalia Square, which is romantic, architecturally more beautiful and green and the prices are going up
