The Cathedral of Santa Maria in Palma de Mallorca also more commonly known as La Seu is a Roman Catholic Gothic Church was built in 1229 upon the site of a Moorish Mosque. Its construction was began by Jaume I in the Catalan Gothic style. La Seu is 121 metres long, 55 metres wide and its nave is 44 metres tall and its construction finished in the early 1600's.

Many important architects and artist took part in building and decorating this amazing building including Gaudi in the early 1900's this atraction is visited by many turists throughout the year and includes a walk through museum and entry into the Main Cathedral Chambers at a cost of 7€ per person.
