The Mondragón Palace in Ronda is one of the most impressive and historic buildings in the town. It was built in the 14th century by the Moorish rulers of Ronda, and later was sais to have been the residence of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella after they conquered the town in 1485. It was also the home of several governors and nobles who administered Ronda over the centuries. The palace is now the Municipal Museum, where visitors can learn about Ronda’s history from the stone age to the present day. The palace also features beautiful Moorish courtyards with fountains and arches, lush gardens with exotic plants and flowers, and stunning views of the Sierra de Grazalema mountains from its balconies and windows. The Mondragón Palace is a must-see for anyone who wants to experience the charm and elegance of Ronda’s past.
I’ve been living in this lovely area of Western Andalucia for the last 20 years or so and dedicate most of my time to the running of English language tourist information websites for the towns of Cádiz, Ronda, Grazalema, the famous or infamous Caminito del Rey, and also Wildside Holidays, which promotes sustainable and eco-friendly businesses running wildlife and walking holidays in Spain. My articles contain affiliate links that will help you reserve a hotel, bus, train or activity in the area. You don’t pay more, but by using them you do support this website. Thankyou!
