There is proof that the building started in 1229 and in 1300 the actual cathedral began to take shape during the reign of king Jaume II . The building began in the Gothic style continuing into Baroque . In 1902 the Bishop, so as to keep up to date with progress decided to ask Gaudí to reform the central chapel among others. The contemporary style was introduced by the artist Miquel Barceló who re-designed the the Santísimo Chapel in 2007. It is the cathedral with the largest gothic rosette stained glass window in the world measuring approx.. 13.8m2 x 100m2. The Cathedral is known as La Seu and in 1931 it became a Monument of Historical/Artistic value.
Bellver Castle as it`s name indicates (beautiful view) is built in the circular Gothic style. It was built at the start of the XIV century by order of king Jaime II.
