ATTENTION : YOU CAN FIND THE LATEST VERSION OF THIS DESCRIPTION ALWAYS ON GC.COM - CHECK IT BEFORE YOU START !!!

Castell de Bellver is a Gothic fortification built by order of King Jaume II of Mallorca between 1300 and 1311, under the supervision of Ponc Descoll. Five rooms on the ground floor are devoted to the Museu d´Historia de la Ciutat, which exhibits pieces proceeding from archaeological digs and the collection of Cardinal Despuig.

We did not understand the hints for stage 1-B and stage 2-C. But thanks for discovering the nice castell and the great view! Our kids saw another team (maybe WolfKK?), but we didn't want to follow them...

Thank you very much for this nice cache. After all the micro cache boxes it was great to find that big box. Unfortunately the box is broken and so the content may get wet.
