Castillo de Bellver
Spain, Spain
Castillo de Bellver is a unique 14th-century Gothic circular castle perched on a wooded hill overlooking Palma Bay in Palma de Mallorca, Balearic Islands, Spain.
Built between 1300 and 1311 by King James II as both a royal residence and fortress, its rare round design features a central courtyard with semicircular arches below and rib-vaulted Gothic galleries above, surrounded by three circular towers and a separate keep, all encircled by a moat amid marès sandstone construction.
Used as a refuge during sieges like 1343 and 1391, later a prison for figures including Gaspar de Vilanova, it now houses the Palma Municipal History Museum with panoramic views, exemplifying Catalonia's architectural influence in the Mediterranean.
