The Church of Sant Jaume de Alcúdia is the parish church of the historic center of Alcúdia, in Mallorca, located next to the walled enclosure and in the vicinity of the Plaça Jaume Ques. It is a temple of great patrimonial and devotional relevance within the historic center of the municipality. Its origin is located in the late Middle Ages, with a construction linked to the fourteenth century and the initiative of King James II of Mallorca; the current building also responds to a later reconstruction after the collapse of 1870. Therefore, it combines the Mallorcan Gothic tradition with a nineteenth-century rebuilding of historicist character. Among its outstanding elements are the single wide nave, the ribbed vault, the side chapels between buttresses and the rose window on the façade. Inside it preserves an important baroque altarpiece and a parish museum or museum of sacred art, where historical pieces of interest linked to the religious heritage of Alcúdia are kept. The church is part of the monumental ensemble of the old town, closely linked to the defensive and urban history of Alcúdia. Its location next to the walls reinforces its value as an architectural and symbolic reference of the municipality.

The Pollentia Monographic Museum is an archaeological museum in Alcúdia, on the island of Mallorca, dedicated to the findings from the Roman city of Pollentia and the excavations carried out in its surroundings. Its function is to contextualize the ancient Roman city and show materials that help to understand the daily, public and funerary life of that historical settlement. According to the Alcúdia Town Hall, the museum is located in the historic center, in a building in the old town, and presents a collection organized in several thematic areas. The Ministry of Culture indicates that it was created in 1983 as a subsidiary section of the Museu de Mallorca, with the aim of relating the archaeological pieces recovered with their original context. Municipal sources indicate that the museum occupies a 14th century building, remodeled in 2006. The exhibition brings together diverse archaeological pieces, with special attention to sculptures, inscriptions, architectural elements, objects of daily use, jewelry and materials related to the Roman funerary world.

The Pont dels Anglesos is a pedestrian access point to the Natural Park of s'Albufera de Mallorca, in the municipality of Alcúdia, next to the Ma-12 road, in the Platja de Muro sector. It is not an isolated monument, but a territorial reference linked to the main entrance of this protected area, widely used to start the visit to the wetland. Its natural interest lies in the immediate surroundings: s'Albufera is the largest and most important wetland area in Mallorca, with approximately 1,700 hectares, formed on an ancient lagoon separated from the sea by a string of dunes and then modeled by sedimentary contributions. Access to the park from this point is on foot or by bicycle, which helps to conserve the space and maintain the peaceful atmosphere required for wildlife observation. What can be seen from here is the transition between the coastal strip, the waterlogged areas and the network of canals, reed beds and inland lagoons of the park, a very valuable landscape for aquatic and migratory birds. This is why access is of particular interest to those seeking gentle hiking, bird watching, and contact with a well-preserved wetland landscape. Its relevance is given by its environmental protection: s'Albufera was declared a Natural Park in 1988 and is part of the Natura 2000 network as ZEPA and LIC, as well as being a wetland area of international importance Ramsar. The Pont dels Anglesos is thus associated with one of the best-known gateways to a natural space of the first order in the Balearic Islands.

The Roman Ruins of Pollentia are an archaeological heritage site, corresponding to the ancient Roman city of Pollentia, in Alcúdia (Mallorca, Balearic Islands). It is the main Roman urban complex preserved on the island and one of the most important archaeological sites of the Balearic archipelago. Pollentia was founded after the Roman conquest of Mallorca in 123 B.C., linked to the action of the consul Quintus Caecilius Metellus. The enclave experienced its greatest development between the 1st century B.C. and 3rd century A.D., when it reached a notable urban entity and came to play a prominent role as the Roman center of the Balearic Islands. The site is organized in three areas that can be visited: the Portella, the Forum and the Theater. In the foral area, elements of great interest have been documented, such as the Capitoline Temple, other minor temples and tabernae, along with remains that allow us to understand the urban fabric and daily life of the Roman city. Its location, south of the historic center of Alcúdia and in the surroundings of the medieval walls, reinforces the historical value of the site, where the visit is also complemented by the Museu Monogràfic de Pollentia, which preserves materials found in the excavations.
