Bishop’s Garden, or Jardí del Bisbe, is a small botanical garden in Palma’s old town, close to the Cathedral. Palm, pomegranate and citrus trees shade the paths, while pink flowers frame an ornamental pond where golden fish swim. A vegetable patch adds another detail to this quiet green space, whose planting also recalls Palma’s Muslim heritage. It is a brief stop for a pause among the old town’s streets; visit for the pond and flowers rather than a large garden to explore.
A small garden in Palma’s old town
Jardí del Bisbe, known in English as Bishop’s Garden, is a compact botanical garden in the old town. Its trees include palms, pomegranates and citrus, creating shade among the paths. A vegetable patch sits alongside the ornamental planting.
The garden’s plants and layout connect the stop to Palma’s Muslim heritage. It is a modest space, so the visit is best suited to anyone already exploring the old town who wants time among greenery, rather than a destination for a long garden walk.
The pond and its planting
The ornamental pond is one of the garden’s defining details. Golden fish move through the water, with pink flowers growing around it. Take a moment to look closely before moving on; the pond and its surrounding plants reward a slower pause.
The garden is close to Palma Cathedral and makes a quiet break in the historic centre. Its scale is part of the visit: expect a small green space, not an extensive botanical collection.
