El Museo Diocesano
Situado frente al mar detrás de la cabecera de la Catedral, en el Palacio Episcopal de la Ciudad de Palma de Mallorca. Recientemente reabierto después de seis años de rehabilitación, expone unas 200 obras de arte religioso que ofrecen un recorrido histórico por el cristianismo en Mallorca.
El contenido del Museo procede de conventos, monasterios, iglesias... y de donaciones de colecciones particulares. Entre las obras expuestas destacan el retablo de Sant Jordi de Pere Niçard (siglo XV) y diversas piezas de Antoni Gaudà diseñadas para decorar la Catedral y el Palacio Episcopal (siglo XX).
El recinto incluye el oratorio gótico de Sant Pau que data de principios del siglo XV y fue incorporado posteriormente al edificio del Palacio Episcopal.
Retaule de sant Jordi (taula central i predel·la).
Aquest retaule, obra cabdal de la pintura medieval mallorquina, fou encarregat l’any 1468 per la confraria dels cavallers per a la capella que tenien a la desapareguda església de Sant Antoni de la Porta. Fou contractat per Pere Niçard, pintor estranger autor de la major part de l’obra, i Rafel Mòger, mestre local que va col·laborar sobretot en el primer compartiment de la predel·la. La taula central representa sant Jordi matant el drac per alliberar la princesa, tenint com a fons la Ciutat de Mallorca, idealitzada a l’estil flamenc però amb alguns detalls realistes com la zona de PortopÃ, les embarcacions, l’església de Sant Nicolauet o els horts de fora murada, entre d’altres. A la predel·la es representen la decapitació de sant Jordi, el Baró de Dolors i l’entrada de l’exèrcit cristià a la Ciutat de Mallorca l’any 1229. Tècnicament, Pere Niçard aportà algunes novetats de procedència flamenca com l’ús de la pintura a l’oli, amb la qual aconseguà efectes com les lluentors o els reflexos de l’armadura del sant.

El caballero , la princesa y el dragón.
Se trata del retablo de Sant Jordi, obra de Pere Nisard , donde se ve la bahÃa de Palma con el puerto de la ciudad y el de Porto Pi, con gran número de naos, galeras, galeotas y otras embarcaciones de tipo medio y pequeño –además se entrevén otras que fueron borradas o veladas por el autor -, en esta obra cabe destacar la única imagen medieval de una embarcación que llega a puerto vista de proa y arriando la vela para poder anclar.
Durante la Alta Edad Media se representaron embarcaciones en todas las escenas en que algún pasaje de la Biblia hace referencia, según sea el Antiguo Testamento (Noé en el ciclo del agua o del diluvio -éste es uno de los más interesantes por aparecer frecuentemente la construcción del arca-, y las escenas de Jonàs y la ballena o del Nuevo Testamento (la pesca milagrosa , la presencia de los apóstoles-pescadores Pedro y Andrés ), y el Comentario del Apocalipsis de Beato de Liébana, cuyas copias son conocidas como Beatos .
A partir del siglo XIII la iconografÃa sacra continúa con la representación de barcos según la BÃblia, más la totalidad de santos que tuvieron relación con el mar, viajaron en barco, sufrieron martirio en el mar, se les atribuyen milagros salvando a naufragos, etc (San Clemente , San MartÃn de Tours , Santa Clara , San Nicolás , Santa Úrsula , Santa Cristina , San Bernat de Claravall , San Juan Bautista , San Juan Evangelista , entre otros).
Algunos retablos se caracterizan por la riqueza de detalles, principalmente los del siglo XV, otros en cambio destacan por elementos inusuales o excepcionales como la nave que aparece con los dos tipos de timones en la iglesia de Alòs de Balaguer, fechado en el 1364.
También en la Baja Edad Media se registran la casi totalidad de representaciones de barcos documentados en iconografÃa profana, por una parte disponemos de su presencia decorando los palacios de la burguesÃa y la nobleza enriquecida gracias a su participación en la conquista y expansión de la Corona , y por otra la enorme cantidad de documentación escrita producida permitió que los notarios y lectores se divirtieran dibujando barcos en los márgenes de documentos y libros.
Destacan por su riqueza en la representación de la gran diversidad de todo tipo de embarcaciones dos obras que muestran un repertorio naval.

Valldemossa is only 18 km away from Palma (tour of 3 or 4 hours will be perfect)
This itinerary takes visitors around the streets, plazas and most picturesque spots in the village of Valldemossa, an introduction to the places that witnessed French writer George Sand and Polish composer Frederick Chopin's stay on Mallorca.
The celebrated couple resided in this Mallorcan village during the winter of 1838-39. Its landscapes, peoples and customs made a strong impression on the writer, who would set them down years later in a book entitled 'A Winter in Mallorca(1841).
During their visit, the couple stayed in cells at the Royal Carthusian Monastery, admission to which is not included in the tour.
