Majorca’s rich history is a captivating tapestry woven from ancient civilizations, conquests, and cultural influences. Originally settled by the Talayotic culture around 2000 BC, the island later became part of the Roman Empire, leaving behind ruins and roads that hint at its early importance.

Throughout the Middle Ages, Majorca was a key Mediterranean trading hub, controlled by Moors before being conquered by King James I of Aragon in 1229, which shaped its Catalan identity and architecture. The island’s medieval towns, fortified walls, and gothic churches reflect this dynamic past.

In more recent centuries, Majorca faced pirate raids, economic shifts, and emigration waves, but it transformed into a major tourist destination in the 20th century, attracting visitors with its natural beauty and cultural heritage.

Today, exploring Majorca’s historic sites—from ancient Talayots to Palma’s stunning cathedral—offers travelers a journey through time in one of the Mediterranean’s most enchanting islands.
