Castell de Capdepera — Attraction in Capdepera

Castell de Capdepera has a long story. It's a beguiling history mixture of the Roman period, Moorish period, and finally Spanish period. The stronghold has always been here. It started with the Roman Empire. Next, improved by Moors. Ultimately expanded by the Spaniards in the middle ages to the size of a defensive castle. The hill of the castle reaches 427 ft a.s.l (circa). It towers over the city and its surroundings. It was a proper observatory deck in the past time.

The castle's strategic location provided a vantage point to monitor and protect the surrounding region, offering a glimpse into its past...

Awwwww this is a nice find and gives you an idea of how life was during this time. I’ve been here a couple of times now and each time it has been quiet and peaceful. The views from this castle are magnificent and can see for miles, perfect photo opportunity. I like this castle as it has a mini museum within describing what life was like and also models of how this castle just grew and grew over time. The entrance fee is only €3 each which is more then reasonable. You would expect to stay here for about an hour and could of been longer if they had a coffee shop to relax whilst taking in the surroundings. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly.
