Bellver Castle (Catalan: Castell de Bellver) is a Gothic style castle on a hill 3 km to the west of the center of Palma on the Island of Majorca, Balearic Islands, Spain. It was built in the 14th century for King James II of Majorca, and is one of the few circular castles in Europe. Long used as a military prison throughout the 18th to mid-20th century, it is now under civilian control, being one of the main tourist attractions of the island, as well as the seat for the city's History Museum.
The castle's plan, circular floor with round towers attached to it seems to have been inspired by the upper complex of the Herodion in the West Bank, which is also circular and has a large principal tower and three minor towers as well. They are attached while the principal one is coupled to the complex by a high bridge over the surrounding moat.
The main part of the fortification was built by architect Pere Salvà, who also worked in the construction of the Royal Palace of La Almudaina, together with other master masons between 1300 and 1311 for King James II of Aragon and Majorca. Rock from the hill where the castle sits was used for the building, which has eventually led to the appearance of cracks. Once the castle had been built, and following the introduction of artillery, the battlements on the top balconies and the barbican disappeared, being soon followed by those in every tower; loopholes were built instead.
The MT Castillo de Bellver oil spill began on 6 August 1983, when the Spanish tanker caught fire off Saldanha Bay, approximately 70 miles northwest of Cape Town, South Africa. It was carrying 250,000 t (550,000,000 lb) of light crude oil, and was traveling through an environmentally sensitive area known for its seabird rookeries and productive fisheries. The burning vessel was abandoned and broke apart after drifting offshore. The stern capsized and sunk and the bow was sunk using explosives. A total of 78.5 million US gallons (1.87 million barrels) of oil entered the sea. Onshore impacts were considered negligible as the slick travelled seaward. The only visible impact was the oiling of 1,500 gannets which were on a nearby island.
The Castillo de Bellver was built in 1978 to carry light crude oil.
On 6 August 1983, the Spanish oil tanker Castillo de Bellver was en route from the Persian Gulf to Spain transporting 250,000 t (550,000,000 lb) of light crude oil.

Really nice and underrated castle, high above Palma. The former moat is impressive, the towers are nice and the courtyard is really beautiful. You need to take many steps to reach it or you can take the road or path around the hill. The entrance is on paid basis.
Das Schloss Bellver befindet sich auf einem Hügel in den Außenbereichen von Palma.

Last night a millions stars
Smiled down on me
Soft breeze has kissed my cheek
So tenderly
One magic night when dreams come true
Last night was made for love, but where were you?
And though the whispering breeze
Had cast a spell
It seemed the earth stood still
To late as well
No cloud could hide the moon from view
Last night was made for love, but where were you?
Were you watching that same ol moon?
In some other fellas arms?
Was he hypnotised with all your many charms
I know therell never be another time
Another magic night to make you mine
Its gone forever set the tune
Last night was made for love, but where you?
Its gone forever sad but true
Last night was made for love, but where you?
