Manacor

Manacor is an inland town of eastern Mallorca, where a royal palace and fortified houses marked the growth of the medieval settlement. James II ordered the palace built in the early fourteenth century and stayed there during his visits to the island. In 1522 Manacor was drawn into the revolt of the Germanies, which divided Mallorca between rebels and supporters of royal authority. Local opponents rose against the agermanats, and violence reached some of the town's leading families.
