The impressive iron gate of the Bishop's Garden, in Mannerist style, has a semicircular work in the upper part of the door and a beautiful design at its base. A plaque on the structure above the door reads: "ANNO DOMINI - MCMXXXXI". The gate is located on Carrer de Sant Pere Nolasc and faces Carrer Can Anglada.
"The Jardí del Bisbe (Bishop’s Garden) is located behind Palma Cathedral, offering a privileged (and refreshing) view of its roof and the rear façade of the Episcopal Palace. The gardens are accessed through the impressive gate, built in the mannerist style.
Once inside, we see a layout typical of the gardens that gave colour and aroma to the ‘Casals’ or mansions of Palma, with geometrically pruned hedges, an orchard and a pond, or ‘safareig’, with water lilies in bloom during the spring and summer." (
