Cathedral of Santa Maria of Palma (La Seu)
Highlight • Religious Site
On New Year's Eve 1229, Jaume I, King of Aragón, also known as the Conqueror, stormed the city of Palma after a three month siege.
As a sign of his victory, he laid the foundation stone of the Cathedral of St. Mary on the foundation walls of a mosque.
In truth, however, he was in a bit of a hurry to fulfill a promise that he had given the holy virgin. On his way across the sea his fleet got caught in a storm and he promised Mary that a church would be built if he survived the storm. “As a sign of my victory” sounds better than “I pissed my pants because of fear”.
The actual construction did not begin until around 70 years later under Jaume II, his son and lasted 300 years (until 1601). Over the centuries, the cathedral has been expanded again and again and only took on its present form around 100 years ago. Today it is only called "La Seu", Catalan for bishopric.
