Porta de Sant Sebastià (Saint Sebastian Gate, Mallorca)

Highlight • Historical Site

One of the largest entrance portals of the Castillo Alcudia and is the western entrance (from Palma). Also known as Porta de Mallorca, it consists of two towers with a semicircular arch. From here you can get to the old town - street Carrer Major. In the area of the gate, the city wall can be walked on (if you turn left after the entrance, you get to the staircase). On the opposite side of the street there is a historic fountain with a forecourt. From there you also have a good view of the gate.

Alcúdia Old Town

Highlight • Historical Site

Small streets characterize the medieval city center of Alcudia. Cars are mostly not allowed or the streets are too narrow for them anyway. In addition to shops and restaurants, there are also a few holiday apartments, but even real Mallorquins still live here. Sunday is market. The food is mostly local and of high quality, but the prices seem pretty touristy to me.

Porta del Moll (Alcúdia City Gate)

Highlight • Historical Site

Construction of the city wall began at the end of the 13th century and was based on a design by King James II.

The city wall has a square floor plan and a total length of 1.5 kilometers. It was secured with 26 towers. The wall was built without the use of mortar and is largely intact. Its average height is six meters. There are two city gates, the Porta de Santa Sebastià on the road to Palma in the west and the Porta del Moll in the east, leading to the harbor. The wall is open to the public in the area of the Porta de Santa Sebastià.

The city fortifications served primarily to protect against pirate attacks, but were overcome several times. In the 17th century, King Philip IV had another star-shaped ring of fortifications built around the city. This more modern ring had triangular bastions. The space between the two rings was used as a ring road. However, the outer ring was later removed and has not been preserved except for a few remains. The year 1660 on the Porta de Santa Sebastià dates back to this time. Source: Wikipedia

Alcúdia Old Town

Highlight • Historical Site

The name Alcúdia comes from the Arabic "Al-Qudya" and means "the hill", indicating the location of the historic town center, which lies on the mountain saddle between the Bay of Pollença and the Bay of Alcúdia, which are separated by a flat mountain range are separated.
A settlement soon developed around the Alcúdia estate, which was first mentioned under this name in a notarial record in 1282. In 1298, King James II of Mallorca (Jaume II de Mallorca) made it a parish and the center of a Administrative area was raised. The construction of the church (from 1302) and the old city wall (from 1298), which was completed in 1362 and parts of which are still preserved, go back to this time, such as the two city gates Porta de Sant Sebastià (also called Porta de Mallorca) and Porta del Moll (also Porta de Xara).

This morning, we took the 324 bus straight after breakfast to Alcúdia, where we first visited the very interesting Roman archaeological site "Ciutat Romana Polentia". The €4 entrance fee per person is definitely worth it and thanks to the lucky coincidence that today was the first Sunday of the month, we were even able to enjoy walking in these exciting …

July 16, 2023,Wochenmarkt Alcudia

Da der Himmel bewölkt war und es auch noch nach Regen aussah, war es doch eine gute Gelegenheit einmal nach Alcudia zu laufen: Da war heute Markttag.

Die alte, historische Stadt lohnt sich ohnehin, viele kleine Gassen, eine der letzten stehenden Stadtmauern die auch begangen werden darf. Die half jedoch nicht gegen die Piraten und so drohte Alcudia zu verwaisen. …
