The City Council of Palma will carry out an ambitious project to improve the access routes and restore the natural surroundings of the Castell de Bellver, with a total investment of 2.9 million euros, of which 2 million come from the Sustainable Tourism Tax (ITS).
The initiative aims to enhance the connection between Bellver Forest and the city, make the castle’s access more inclusive and preserve its valuable forest environment, one of Palma’s main green lungs.
Improvement of access and promotion of sustainable mobility
The project includes the remodelling of the parking area and the upgrading of the main access to the Castell de Bellver, removing architectural barriers and ensuring compliance with current accessibility standards.
In addition, the phase IV of the perimeter path will be carried out to improve the connection between the forest and the urban area. The plan also includes new accessible routes for pedestrians, aiming to promote sustainable mobility and offer a more comfortable and safer experience for both residents and visitors.
Restoration of the natural environment and fire protection
The City Council of Palma will also promote the restoration of the natural environment of the Bellver Forest through reforestation in eroded areas, removal of invasive species and improvement of the forest mass.
Among the environmental measures, the project highlights the installation of a new network of fire hydrants and the implementation of actions included in the Forest Self-Protection Plan, aimed at strengthening fire safety and facilitating the access of emergency vehicles.
