Església de Sant Jaume

Palma de Mallorca


Despite its baroque facade, this is one of Palma's older surviving Gothic churches. This grey soaring eminence is one of the first four parish churches to be built 'under the protection of the Royal House of Mallorca' from 1327. It is said that the Bonapart family (later Bonaparte) lived around here until they moved to Corsica in 1406. Napoleon could have been a Mallorcan!
