| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field occupied by a full-colour aerial photographic image of the Castle of Bellver (Castell de Bellver), a distinctive circular Gothic fortress set amid pine-forested hills above Palma de Mallorca, with the city's harbour and coastline visible in the background. The castle's characteristic round keep, cylindrical corner towers, and arcaded inner courtyard are rendered in vivid detail. The central image is framed by a decorative milled border composed of stylised battlements and arrow-shaped merlons in relief. The legend 'BELLVER' appears in the upper field above the coloured image, while 'ESPAÑA 2023' is inscribed along the lower border within the battlemented frame. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Castle of Bellver, built in the early 14th century under Jaume II of Majorca, is one of the very few circular Gothic castles in Europe. Spain's 1.5 euro series — a denomination that circulates nowhere and exists purely as a collector vehicle — has systematically worked through Iberian architectural landmarks since its introduction, and the Bellver entry fits that pattern.
The castle served as a royal residence for roughly two decades before becoming a prison, a function it held for centuries. The philosopher Gaspar Melchor de Jovellanos was among its more famous inmates, confined there from 1801 to 1808.
