Bellver Castle, located in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, is a unique circular fortress that dates back to the 14th century. Built by order of King James II of Mallorca, it stands on a hill approximately 112 meters above sea level, offering panoramic views of the city and the Bay of Palma. The castle's design is an excellent example of Gothic architecture, characterized by its round tower and three semi-circular towers. Originally serving as a royal residence, it was later used as a military prison before becoming a tourist attraction and museum.
