Palma (Catalan: [ˈpalmə], also [ˈpawmə]; Spanish: [ˈpalma]), also known as Palma de Mallorca (officially between 1983 and 1988, 2006–2008, and 2012–2016),[4] is the capital and largest city of the autonomous community of the Balearic Islands in Spain.[5] It is situated on the south coast of Mallorca on the Bay of Palma. The Cabrera Archipelago, though widely separated from Palma proper, is administratively considered part of the municipality.
