What people say

"Located in the heart of Ronda, the Mondragón Palace is a splendid example of Moorish architecture with a rich history. Originally built in the 14th century as a residence for the Moorish king Abbad, the palace later became the residence of the Catholic monarchs. The palace features beautifully restored courtyards, intricate tile work, and elegant gardens, reflecting a blend of Moorish and Christian influences. Visitors can explore its historic rooms and lush gardens while gaining insight into Ronda’s diverse cultural heritage. Mondragón Palace offers a captivating journey through time, showcasing the grandeur of Ronda’s royal past."
"This palace converted into a municipal museum is made up of two well-defined areas that correspond to two historical and stylistic moments: the Mudejar and the Renaissance . The Municipal Museum of Ronda - Palacio de Mondragón , of a historical-archaeological nature, houses a permanent collection in its facilities that offers a discourse on the history of the region supported by the different archaeological investigations carried out so far in the territory. Legend has it that it was the residence of the great King Abbel Malik or Abomelic, son of the Sultan of Morocco Abul Asan."
