Description
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.
Even it is in the centre of Palma, it is a quite and green place with a
scenic view and interesting things to discover. A visit of the castell
is highly recommended, which costs you a fee of 4 €. But it is up to
you, for the cache it isn´t necessary to enter the castle. This cache
will guide you to the nearby Parc de Bellver.
By car follow the purple signs “Castell de Bellver” to waypoint VIAC.
Parking is possible close to stage 1 and 2 free of charge. By foot you
can take stairs starting at VIAP through the parc. Take a look to the
opening hours (picture below). It´s also possible to visit this place
during your City Sightseeing Hop On Hop Off Tour of Palma de Mallorca.

Während einer Tour nach Palma kamen wir auf die Idee Castell de Bellver einen Besuch abzustatten.
Heute war Tag des freien Eintritts und wir konnten das Castell in Ruhe bestaunen.
Die Finalkoordinaten waren schnell ermittelt und nach etwas Sucherei konnte der Cache auch gefunden werden.
Vielen Dank dafür!

TTF! 
(obwohl im Logbuch deutlich mehr Einträge zu finden waren)
Bei einem Tagesausflug nach Palma haben wir uns auch das Castell und den Cache angeschaut. Die einzelnen Stationen waren gut lösbar. Insgesamt ein sehr gur gemachter Multi in einer tollen Gegend. Vielen Dank fürs Legen und Pflegen.

Nice to see an OConly in this area. We enjoyed the tour through our visit at Bellver. All the stages could be nicely found and the coordinates are quite accurate.
It's impressive to see that this cache was never logged online although there were quite a few paper logs; most of them in 2012 and the last one being in 2013. So the cache hasn't been found in two years.
