Museu Històric Militar de Sant Carles

18th-century fortress guarding Palma's harbour, packed with military history

Set in a formidable 18th-century fortress at the entrance to Palma's port, this museum traces the military history of the Balearic Islands through an impressive collection of weaponry, uniforms, and naval artefacts. The atmospheric stone bastions and harbour views are as compelling as the exhibits inside.
