Ronda is a Spanish municipality belonging to the autonomous community of Andalusia, located in the northwest of the province of Malaga, about 100 kilometers from the city of Malaga. It is the head of the homonymous judicial party and the capital of the region of the Serranía de Ronda.

Its municipal term extends over a plateau known as the depression of Ronda by the mountains that surround it. It has an area of ​​397.62 km² and a population density of 86.18 inhabitants / km².
Ronda has its origin in the Roman Arunda that would be constituted from existing Iberian settlements. The Visigoths gave it continuity until the arrival of the Muslims, who consolidated their role as county seat and their urban entity. Its location facilitated the defense of the city and put it in a strategic situation to dominate the steps and roads to Lower Andalusia. This and the availability of land suitable for agriculture finally gave it significant historical importance.
The city sits on a plateau cut by a deep pit excavated by the Guadalevín River, which overlooks the buildings of its historic center, which gives the city a picturesque panorama that, together with the variety of monuments it possesses, to its Natural environment and its proximity to the great centers of mass tourism of the Costa del Sol, has made Ronda a remarkable tourist center.

It is the oldest in Spain. [Citation needed]

The Guadalevín River is a short river in southern Spain that runs through the province of Malaga. It is a tributary of the Guadiaro River, whose name comes from the Arabic Wadi-al-Labal ("river of milk").
It is born in the Sierra de las Nieves and in its first section it is also known as the Rio Grande until it reaches the place of Navares and Tejares. Then it passes through the city of Ronda where it sculpts its famous Tagus, and finally flows into the Guadiaro River in the place known as La Indiana.

The Salvatierra Palace is located in the city of Ronda (province of Malaga, Spain). A noble building that centers its decoration on a unique Renaissance cover that is organized from a pair of columns of the Corinthian order on each side of its wide adintelada door, on which a finely decorated stone frieze is arranged from where a balcony starts closed by a splendid iron fence.
The most striking element of this cover is formed by the group of four Inca figurines that, in the manner of the Atlanteans of classical architecture, hold a straight pediment on their heads in whose center the coat of arms of the promoters of this building is housed. .
But if the exterior of the palace is interesting, so is its interior, which has a valuable set of furniture and decorative and artistic objects of great quality, such as carvings and paintings.
In addition, the house has a garden at its back, from which you can see a wide view of the Sierra de las Nieves; and in its closest surroundings, also on the remains of the old medieval city walls and its Arab baths.

The church of Santa María la Mayor de Ronda (province of Malaga, Spain), elevated to the category of collegiate church by King Ferdinand the Catholic, stands on the old Aljama mosque of the city, a 13th-century work from which it is still they retain remains of the mihrab.
The beginning of the construction of this church must have been carried out very soon after the reconquest in 1486 of the square by the Christian troops; and in her two different architectonic styles are distinguished, according to the different stages through which its execution passed throughout the more than two centuries that the works lasted.
Thus the first part belonging to the Gothic, basically corresponds to the feet of the temple and marks the definitive configuration of the church. This consists of three ships separated by pointed arches that rest on fasciculated pillars of run capital. They are very open arches that make up a large and diaphanous space interrupted only by the body of the choir located in the center of the church, equipped with carved wooden chairs with figures of saints on the backs and large facistol in the center. This part was initially covered with a wooden coffered ceiling, although it currently has semi-spherical vaults on scallops decorated with posters, a 17th-century work.

The second part or modern part corresponds to the head of the church and replaces the previously existing one destroyed by an earthquake in 1580. This circumstance allowed its reconstruction to be carried out with a new, more monumental configuration, now in Mannerist style; and even gain height with respect to the Gothic part, in a series of works that did not end until about 1720.
The new work continues the scheme of the old one, with a plane of union in the last Gothic pillars to which others are attached with striated columns of high base that first collect a simple triumphal arch with imperial shield in the key and then continue upwards ending in colorful Corinthian capitals that collect an entablature with frieze decorated with posters and very flown cornice.
The main altar features an altarpiece from the late 18th century made of unpainted wood and with balustrade columns that is topped with a lantern.
From its exterior stands its original facade at the foot where the tower is located, a magnificent piece made of brick and square base with upper octagonal bodies topped by gothic tracery with pinnacles at the angles and cupulin of the 16th century. It rises after the destruction in 1523 of the previous one by lightning over the old minaret of the mosque, and it is attached to it at the beginning of the 17th century a triple gallery enabled to enable the vision of the shows that were held in the great square to The one facing.
Of the three floors of this gallery, the ground floor is formed by a semicircular archway made with brick on fine Tuscan columns of high basement; while the two superior ones are adintelados, also with stone columns, being finished off by a roof of tile with inclination greater than the one that now owns.

The Templete de la Virgen de los Dolores de Ronda (province of Malaga, Spain), is a construction of the period of Ferdinand VI, in the year 1734. It is located in the Mercadillo neighborhood, attached to the houses of the street of the same name .
The chapel has a rectangular shape, with a cover to three waters of Moorish tiles and adorned with rockeries and vegetable stems, which wrap paintings of the evangelists.
In the front, a kind of balcony shelters an altar in carved wood welcoming the image of the Virgen de los Dolores. To the sides of this one are located the shields of the Catholic Monarchs and King Felipe V.
To distinguish are the two Ionic pillars with four anthropomorphic silhouettes that seem to flow from some pods and are held around the neck by ropes. Two of them symbolize fallen angels, the other two are perfectly distinguished subjects. These figures clearly belong to the Mannerist spirit of the 18th century.
According to tradition, the Templete rose in the place where those sentenced to death begged their last prayers before being executed in the next square in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. This fact and the silhouettes tied to the neck by the ropes, attribute to this construction the name of El Templete de los Ahorcados.

The Parish of San Sebastián de Ronda (province of Malaga, Spain) was one of the collations founded by the Catholic Monarchs, located in a Muslim mosque whose minaret served as a bell tower. The church disappeared very soon, along with that of San Juan Bautista and Santiago.
From it we have the minaret of the old mosque that was used for the bell tower. It is a small 14th century minaret and is of the Granada type. Chueca Goitia relates it to the San Juan de los Reyes de Granada minaret.
Currently, the minaret is considered as BIC (Property of Cultural Interest) (it was declared a historical-artistic monument belonging to the National Artistic Treasury by decree of June 3, 1931 ).
It has a square floor plan with a central core around which the staircase develops, covered with half-barrel vaults. It has three bodies, the first one is from a masonry factory with a door on the west side of a horseshoe arch with a recessed bishop, tangent to the key of the arch and cutting the thread from the sides. On top of the arch a cobbled lintel, alternating high outgoing and tucked bends, which is surrounded by a decoration made of stone loop with remains of green glazed ceramic at the crossarms. The interior of the first body is covered with an edge vault and the walls have blind arches. From the second body the brick factory begins, but it does not start everywhere at the same height, so Torres Balbás thinks that the work was interrupted for some time. This second body is formed by a rectangular cloth recessed with two small openings of horseshoe arches and sebka cloth decoration of Almohad tradition on each of the fronts, although today it no longer exists. The third body is an addition made in Christian times to house the bells, made of brick, with a hollow on each side and covered with a roof on four sides.
It was declared a historical-artistic monument by Decree of June 3, 1931.
In 1973 the Alminar house was restored to become a Hispanic-Arab center for Islamic art in Ronda. It was intended to suppress the third floor to partially free the views of the minaret and to restore its facade in the hidden part.

The house of the Gigante de Ronda (province of Malaga, Spain), is a private house built between the end of the 13th century and the beginning of the 14th. Similar to the buildings of Granada and those of Maghreb, it is considered a small palace, one of the best preserved of Nasrid architecture. It is located within the neighborhood of "La Ciudad", one of the three that form the historical sector of Ronda, and that corresponds to the old Muslim 'medina', in the vicinity of the Great Mosque.
Its name refers to two large anthropomorphic reliefs in stone, perhaps of Phoenician or Punic origin, that decorated the corners of the building. Currently, only one of them is preserved, whose shape is barely distinguishable.
Although the current structure of the house has been modified, it still retains its original, oriental design layout. It is characteristic of it that the rooms are arranged around a central courtyard with a pool. The entrance, which leads to the porch and the north hall, is decorated with ataurique and cursive inscriptions. There are also traces of polychromy and traces of plasterwork similar to those of the Puerta del Peinador in La Alhambra in Granada, dating from the fourteenth century.

The House of San Juan Bosco was built at the beginning of the twentieth century, in the heart of the city's historic complex is a Modernist-style Mansion that belonged to the Grenadian family and which they subsequently ceded to the Salesian order for use as a place of rest for priests and sick people of said congregation.
It is worth highlighting its beautiful interior patio decorated with Nasrid flooring and a large collection of ceramics from the region; as well as its tapestries dating from the nineteenth century and its magnificent walnut furniture, the fireplace in its main hall is the clearest example of the handicraft of Rondeña in the purest Castilian style.

It is composed of three naves, the central is covered with a barrel vault, with lunettes and fajones, which are supported on an entablature with cornice flown over folded pilasters decorated on its shaft with plasterboard. The pilasters are attached to quadrangular pillars on which the semicircular arches that separate the central nave from the lateral ones, currently blinded, are turned, since these have been compartmentalized in cells.
The cruise is covered with a dome on a drum with paired windows. The rectangular presbytery is covered with a barrel vault with lunettes. It has a square dressing room with a half-orange vault and pictorial decoration.
The facade consists of three masonry streets divided by brick pilasters. The cover is made of stone with a semicircular arch of molded thread and jambs of casetones. The key has vegetal motifs and in the thin decoration of diamond tip. The arc is framed by pilasters with corrugated capitals topped by pyramids.
On the right side of the facade is the octagonal tower of revoked brick that imitates stone chairs.

It also highlights the image of a painful one under the invocation of Soledad (19th century) and 17th-century oil paintings, among which the one depicting scenes from the life of San Pedro Nolasco whose authorship is attributed to Fray Agustín Leonardo (XVII century).

The Church of Padre Jesús is a temple of Catholic worship located in the town of Ronda (Spain).
Tradition states that here the first Christian church began in Ronda prior to Muslim domination. It is very likely that given the increase in population, a new church was built, or the old hermitage was enlarged if it existed.
We do not know exactly the date of its construction, but, judging by its gothic appearance, it must have started at the end of the fifteenth century and would end already entered the sixteenth century.
At first it was dedicated to Santa Cecilia, becoming one of the busiest parishes in Ronda. However, when the New Bridge was built, the population moved to the top of the market because it was more flat and comfortable, and the old parish of Santa Cecilia was abandoned and in an almost dilapidated state.
