Ronda Sights

  1. Palacio de Mondragón

    Nearly all of the mansions still bear the crest of each family, including the Palacio de Mondragón. Built for Abomelic, ruler of Ronda in 1314, the palace retains its internal courtyards and fountains, the most impressive of these being the Patio Mudejar, from which a horseshoe arch leads into a cliff-top garden with splendid views. It houses the city museum with artefacts and information especially related to both Roman and Islamic funerary systems.

  2. Palacio del Marqués de Salvatierra

    Just before you reach the Old Bridge you will pass the Palacio del Marqués de Salvatierra, a huge mansion that required the demolition of 42 houses for it to be built. Owned by the descendants of the Marqués de Moctezuma, the Governor of South America, the palace is decorated on its portal with carvings of native American Indians. The palace and all its antiques are sometimes open to the public.
