Almudaina Palace, near of La Seu cathedral.
'La Seu' is a
Roman Catholic Cathedral located in
Palma de Mallorca,
Spain, was built on the site of an existing Arab mosque. The Cathedral is 121 metres long and 55 metres wide. The Cathedral, designed in the French
Gothic style, was finished in
1601.
Fifty years after a restoration of the Cathedral had started,
Antoni Gaudí was invited in
1901 to take over the project. While some of his ideas were adopted - moving the choir stalls from the middle nave to be closer to the altar, as well as a large
canopy - Gaudí abandoned his work in
1914 after an argument with the contractor. The project was cancelled soon after.
'Almudaina Palace' is near to La Seu Cathedral. This was the
Muslim palace of the
Banu Ganiya, at the edge of the port. The building was converted into a palace at the beginning of the
14th century.
