## About Palma
Palma de Majorca, often called Palma de Mallorca, is the capital and largest city of the autonomous community of the Balearic Islands in Spain. It is situated on the south coast of Majorca on the Bay of Palma. The population of the city of Palma is the twelfth largest urban area of Spain.

Palma was founded as a Roman camp upon the remains of a Talaiotic settlement. The city was subjected to several Vandal raids during the fall of the Western Roman Empire, then reconquered by the Byzantine Empire, then colonised by the Moors and, in the 13th century, by James I of Aragon.
Palma is a major city and seaport located in the southwest of Majorca, a western mediterranean island belonging to the Balearic Islands archipelago.
The city center of Palma is located north of the homonymous bay (Badia de Palma in the local Catalan language).
Palma has a Mediterranean climate. There is a significant marine influence to warm winters, but summers are warmed by the surrounding continental landmasses.

The capital of the island, Palma, is also the capital of the autonomous community of the Balearic Islands.
Like the other Balearic Islands of Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera, the island is an extremely popular holiday destination. The international airport, Palma de Mallorca Airport, is one of the busiest in Spain.
The name derives from Latin insula maior, "larger island"; later Maiorica, "the larger one" in comparison to Menorca, "the smaller one".
The climate of Majorca is a Mediterranean climate, with mild and stormy winters and hot, bright, dry summers. Summers are hot in the plains and winters mild.
