Palacio de Mondragón, Ronda (Málaga)
El Palacio de Mondragón, conocido también como Palacio del Marqués de Villasierra, es sin duda el monumento civil más significativo de Ronda.
Cuenta la historia que fue residencia del rey Abbel Malik o Abomelic, hijo del sultán de Marruecos Abul Asan. A los pocos años de la muerte de Abomelic, el reino de Ronda pasó a depender del de Granada, sabiendo que el último gobernador musulmán Hamet el Zegrí también residió en este palacio.
Tras numerosas reformas en época cristiana, el mismo compendia distintos estilos.
En el siglo dieciocho se construyó el cuerpo exterior de fachada, con importante sillería y portada con doble orden de columnas marcadas sobre pedestal dórico el bajo y jónico apilastrado el alto, coronándose la organización con un frontón curvo que se rompe en el centro para alojar un tercer orden decorativo con columnas corintias apareadas. Todo este cuerpo dieciochesco se ocupa en planta baja con el apeadero y las antiguas cuadras.
Mención especial merece el Salón noble del palacio con extraordinario artesonado mudéjar.

Palace of Mondragón, Ronda, Province of Málaga, Andalusia, Spain, Europe
Mondragon Palace, also known as the palace of the Marquis of Villasierra, is a Mudejar-Renaissance building in the old town of Ronda, Spain. Although legend has it as a residence of the kings of the Taifa of Ronda, historical data report that is a palace of Andalusian origin, where in the fourteenth century the king resided benimerí Abd al Malik, son of Sultan Abul Hassan of Morocco. After the death of Abd al Malik, Ronda became part of the Kingdom of Granada and the palace became the residence of the Moorish governor being its last occupant Hamed el Zegrí. In its Muslim era is only the layout of your plant, foundations and some underground passages that connected the garden with the old castle. On May 24, 1485, Ronda was conquered by the Catholic Monarchs who take up residence in the palace during his stay in the city after which it passes to the Captain Melchor de Mondragón, whose coat on the cover and you will name the palace. Later it will pass to Francisco Valenzuela, Marqués de Villasierra. The facade is in the early sixteenth century, standing at the corners two square towers of brick, covered with four slopes. It is done in the eighteenth century and in Baroque style, made of masonry and with a cover with columns. The interior of the palace is built around three courtyards. The courtyard entrance, also known as Quad well, is the eighteenth century, presenting a gallery on each of its sides, with arches. The second courtyard is the Mudéjar courtyard dating from the sixteenth century, but has a mix of Gothic, Renaissance and Moorish styles. From this courtyard, a horseshoe arch (with Moorish gate) gives access to the garden. The third courtyard is late Gothic style. Interior highlights the noble room of the palace with coffered ceiling. Today the palace houses the Archaeological Museum of Ronda.

Ronda Mondragón Palace (Pałac) [4K]
The Mondragon Palace, also known as the Ronda museum is again a mixture of architectural backgrounds, founded by the Moorish and later converted by Rennaissance and gothic influences; equally as Ronda´s famous cathedral which is just a few steps away.It is this style clash that makes it worthwhile a visit such as the typical Spanish patio with supreme carved wooden ceiling that leads you through a magnificient arab archery gate into the Alhambra like gardens with fountains.
The buiding rests on the outskirts of the Ronda cliffs looking out on the fantastic countryside. Several times a year exhibitions are set up mostly with national artists.
After your visit , preferably in the late afternoon, we recommend a drink at Maruja Limon just nextdoors to wonder a unique sunset with the mountains as a fab backdrop.
The legend tells that it was formerly home of the great king Abbel Malik or Abomelic, son of the Morocco’s sultan Abul Asan. Few years later after the death of Abomelic, the kingdom of Ronda was dependent on the kingdom of Granada, and it is also known that the last arab governor Hamet el Zegrí lived also at this palace.
It is difficult, without an archaeological exploration, to know the aspect of this palace at the arab age, but it can be assured that the building had to be organized around the courtyard next to the Tajo, adding also the garden.
The current space between the the two suporting walls of the façade did not exist. In the 18th century was built the exterior side of the façade, with an important masonry and double columns over a Dorian base and Ionic pillaster chapitel, being the top one pediment broken at its midle point in order to put inside one third decorative order consisting of pairs of Corinthian columns. All that decoration of the 18th century is shown at the ground floor adding also the halt and the formerly stables. It is also remarkable the noble room of the palace with a wonderful mudejar coffered ceiling.

Palacio de Mondragón
El palacio de Mondragón, también conocido como palacio del Marqués de Villasierra, es un edificio mudéjar-renacentista situado en el casco antiguo de la ciudad de Ronda, España. En la actualidad el palacio alberga el Museo Municipal de Ronda.
Aunque la leyenda lo sitúa como residencia de los reyes de la Taifa de Ronda, los datos históricos relatan que es un palacio de origen andalusí, donde en el siglo XIV residió el rey benimerí Abd al Malik, hijo del sultán de Marruecos Abu al-Hasan 'Ali. Tras la muerte de Abd al Malik, Ronda pasó a depender del Reino de Granada y el palacio pasó a ser la residencia del gobernador nazarí siendo su último ocupante Hamed el Zegrí.
De su época musulmana sólo queda el trazado de su planta, los cimientos y unos pasadizos subterráneos que comunicaban el jardín con el antiguo alcázar.
El 24 de mayo de 1485, Ronda es conquistada por los Reyes Católicos quienes fijan su residencia en el palacio durante su estancia en la ciudad tras lo cual pasa a manos del capitán Melchor de Mondragón, cuyo escudo aparece en la portada y que dará nombre al palacio. Posteriormente pasará a manos de Fernando de Valenzuela, Marqués de Villasierra.
Ronda, Spain - Baños árabes de Ronda (old Arab Baths)
The partially intact Baños árabes (Arab baths) are found below the city of Ronda, Spain and date back to the 13th and 14th centuries. The old Puente Arabe (bridge) nearby may have been built around the same time.
At the time Ronda was under Moorish (Muslim) rule and baths were an important spiritual ritual for them. A clean body was necessary to enter a mosque and there was a mosque originally near the baths location.
Fascinating history to experience up close, there was even a small public video room to watch a presentation. For more information on baths of this type, check out this link:

Ronda village, Andalucia, Spain 2012
Despite being Andalucía's fastest-growing town - it overtook Córdoba in the big three Andaluz tourist attractions, behind Sevilla and Granada, in the early 21st century - Ronda retains much of its historic charm, particularly its old town. It is famous worldwide for its dramatic escarpments and views, and for the deep El Tajo gorge that carries the rio Guadalevín through its centre. Visitors make a beeline for the 18th century Puente Nuevo 'new' bridge, which straddles the 100m chasm below, for its unparalleled views out over the Serranía de Ronda mountains.
Ronda is also famous as the birthplace of modern bullfighting, today glimpsed once a year at the spectacular Feria Goyesca. Held at the beginning of September, here fighters and some of the audience dress in the manner of Goya's sketches of life in the region. Legendary Rondeño bullfighter Pedro Romero broke away from the prevailing Jerez 'school' of horseback bullfighting in the 18th century to found a style of bullfighting in which matadores stood their ground against the bull on foot. In 2006 royalty and movie stars were helicoptered in for the Goyesca's 50th anniversary celebrations in its small bullring, while thousands jammed the streets and parks outside. Otherwise the bullring, Plaza de Toros, is now a museum, and visitors can stroll out into the arena.
Ronda also holds a lovely 'romería' pilgrimage each year. This is in honour of the Virgen de la Cabeza and is organised by the local Catholic brotherhood of the same name. For those wishing to see the lighter side of life in Ronda this is a wonderful way to participate in a local tradition that dates back to the beginning of the 20th century.
Across the bridge, where an elegant cloistered 16th century convent is now an art museum, old Ronda, La Ciudad, sidewinds off into cobbled streets hemmed by handsome town mansions, some still occupied by Ronda's titled families. The Casa de Don Bosco is one such, its interior patio long ago roofed in glass against Ronda's harsh winters. Its small, almost folly-like gardens lose out, however, to the true star, a few minutes' walk to the furthest end of the Ciudad, the Palacio Mondragón. Clumsily modernised in parts during the 1960s, this still has working vestiges of the exquisite miniature water gardens dating from its time as a Moorish palace during Ronda's brief reign as a minor Caliphate under Córdoba in the 12th century.
The cobbled alley to the Mondragón leads naturally on to Ronda's loveliest public space, the leafy Plaza Duquesa de Parcent, which boasts a convent, two churches, including the toytown belltower of the iglesia Santa Maria de Mayor, and the handsome arched ayuntamiento (council) building. Nearby calle Armiñan leads down to the spacious plaza of the traditional workers' barrio, San Francisco, with excellent bars and restaurants. Back from the Mondragón, the Plaza del Campillo overlooks steps that zigzag down to a dramatic eye-level through the Puente Nuevo. The town's pedestrianised 'high street', calle Espinel, opposite the bullring, is nicknamed 'La Bola' and is where Rondeños go for virtually everything.
