Abstract

This article presents a comparative analysis of views expressed on the Cathedral of Mallorca in travel literature written in the first half of the 19th century. Based on a selection of seven authors of different nationalities we have extracted several items in common, in order to assess the similarities and differences between them. These items are linked to the treatment offered by each traveller of certain elements of the temple. By means of this study we will be able to determine which elements or aspects of the Cathedral were the most commented, analysing the way in which they were approached by each author. In addition, these travel books constitute clear antecedents of future tourist guides.
