North beyond the Old Town streets, twentieth century buildings are sprinkled with decorative Modernista architecture. This Spanish Art Nouveau is most impressive in Placa Weyler where you can find the Gran Hotel (now gleamingly restored as an art gallery, cafe/bar and bookshop), the colourful facade of Forn des Teatre pastry shop and the restored front of the cool boutique of Purification Garcia.

Perching above the city is the 14th century Castell de Bellver. Surrounded by pine trees this beautifully preserved 700 year old hill top castle offers spectacular views over the bay.
