Description

Discover the historic homes of the capital of Mallorca on a 3-hour walking tour of the Old City of Palma. Founded by the Romans, it has had a turbulent history, passing to the Byzantines and Moors before the Christian reconquest. With the help of a fully licensed personal guide, explore the handsome streets of the Old Town and the patios of the stately homes. Boasting monumental beauty and lavish impressions, these unique architectural spaces remain untouched by time. You will be especially fascinated by the 4 enigmas of the Middle Ages. Explore the 4 colors of the enigma - white, green, red, and yellow – and discover how they are constantly present in the city’s monuments and houses. Learn the meaning of the green shutters on the windows of Mallorcan houses, and why the martyrs always dressed in red in Christian iconography. Discover how colors and numbers are linked with the circle of life. You will be walking along the oldest streets of the city. Imagine the life of the people dedicated to different occupations and beliefs throughout the ages, from merchants, to Jewish settlers, the nobility, to pirates.
