Alcúdia Old Town
Alcúdia
A medieval walled town with the island's largest Roman city site, Pollentia, just outside its walls.
The Old Town of Alcúdia preserves its 14th-century walls and gates. Inside, stone lanes lined with elegant old houses, shops and small restaurants lead to sections where you can climb onto the walkway atop the walls. About a five-minute walk outside the walls is the Roman city of Pollentia, with a Roman theatre, house remains and a small museum (admission about 4 euros). A large market is held outside the walls on Tuesday and Sunday mornings. About 2 km from the old town, Alcúdia Bay has several kilometers of fine sandy shallows, ideal for a family beach holiday. From Palma, Bus 351 takes about an hour.
Opening hours
Open all day (Pollentia ruins approx. 09:30–17:00; closed Mondays)
