Puente Nuevo
(New Bridge)
Offering unforgettable views over the El Tajo gorge. The Puente Nuevo – new bridge – was actually completed in 1793 and took forty two years to build.
Plaza de Toros - The Bullring
Ronda is said to be the home of modern day bullfighting. The Real Maestranza bullring is one of the oldest and most picturesque in Spain. It was built in 1785 by the architect Jose Martin Aldehuela - the same architect who built the Puente Nuevo.
Baños Arabes - Arab Baths
The Arabic baths in Ronda are the best preserved in Spain. They were built at the end of the 13th century during the reign of King Abomelik. The large cauldron used to heat the water is still visible and in good condition.
Palacio de Mondragón - Mondragon Palace
The museum is devoted to Ronda’s rich history with examples of Roman and Moorish tombs. The gardens are exceptionally beautiful and offer a real island of tranquility.
Palace of the Moorish Kingand the Water Mine:
Legend has it that this was the residence of the Moorish King, Almonated, who is said to have drank wine from the skulls of his enemies. Although more recent evidence seems to indicate that the King never actually lived in the building. Today’s structure was completed in the 18th century and completely remodeled in 1920 by the Duchess of Parcent.
Mirador de Aldehuela and Balcón del Coño Viewpoints
One of the most popular viewpoints of the city and with good reason. The views of the gorge, the Puente Nuevo and the surrounding countryside are spectacular. The viewpoint has been named in honour of the architect José Martin de Aldehuela. The same architect who built the bullring, the Puente Nuevo and finished Malaga's cathedral amongst other projects. The Balcón del Coño viewpoint is another that should not be missed.
