The Moor's Head
Palma

A place of legend!

On one corner of Carrer Jovellanos, Plaça de les Tortugues and the Born, if you look up, you can see a sculpture of a Saracen head. This spot is known as Cap des Born (the head of the Born). The evil-minded believe that it is the head of one of Captain Barceló’s victims, the Majorcan privateer who was the scourge of Saracen pirates in the 17th century. Some of his captives were executed right there in the Born, not far from the street corner. Others have a less dramatic explanation: it is called Cap des Bornbecause it is the beginning of the avenue. Who knows!
