Sineu Market – Mallorca´s oldest and most traditional


Sineu Market is vast taking over the squares, streets and alleys of the town but its heart is the main square beside the church.

Sitting slap bang in the middle of the island, the hilltop town of Sineu dates back to Roman times. Dominated by the imposing palace built for King Jaume II in 1309 , the town’s claim to fame is that it served as the capital of Mallorca during the 13th century.
