Palma de Mallorca was founded in the year 123 BC by Quint Cecili Metel. Initially, it was called “Medina Mayurka”, then “Ciutat de Mallorca” and finally “Palma de Mallorca”.

Historians describe Mallorca as being a paradise full of vegetable gardens and fountains.

Mallorca was once ruled by the Moors, who named the city “Medina Mayurka”. There are, however, very few traces of this era left, apart from the layout of the old quarter and the Arab baths.

It was taken over by the Christians in the conquest of 1229. The city then became known as “Ciutat de Mallorca”. This named was kept until 1717, when the Roman name was readopted - “Palma de Mallorca”.

Curiously, even to this day, most Mallorcans refer to their city simply as “Ciutat”.
