Near Alaro, the old industrial city of Inca still houses old wine cellars that have not been used as such since the 1800s. The cellars still remain, only now they are used as restaurants serving peasant-style Mallorcan cuisine, such as pork sausages and sopas, or soups made mainly of pork and vegetables. Though the cellars no longer produce wine, they are decorated with the original wine-presses and casks. Inca's Gothic-style church of Santa Maria la Mayor also stands as a central attraction. Another imposing Gothic-style church dominates the town of Muro, which looks out on acres of orchards.
Facades built by old peasant farmers reinforce the town's antiquated look.
Muro's Ethnological Museum of Mallorca offers insight into the island's history and people. Gothic Castles and Cathedrals Mallorca manages to sustain its centuries-old past even in the most industrialized areas of the island. Palma, for instance, keeps intact its historical center in a network of winding streets and town squares that are lined with old churches. The Gothic-style main cathedral, known as the Seo among Mallorca's locals, is one of Palma's main draws. A bit off course from the old city lies the 14th-century Bellver Castle, an impressive circular construction set on a mound overlooking the resort town.
