City Center Capdepera

Capdepera is a town of 10,245 inhabitants located in Majorca, the biggest of Spain's Balearic Islands. The town was brought into being on the order of King Jaume II in 1300 AD. The king intended the village to be a defensive fortification, protecting the then-empty land of Majorca from invaders, and thus keeping a firm control over the Mediterranean trade routes around the island. Nowadays, that fortified part of town is considered the "old village" of Capdepera. Most hotels in Capdepera and, indeed, most of the town's other structures are located at the bottom of the hill that is topped by the old fortified village.
