Address: Plaza Mondragón, s/n, 29400 Ronda, Málaga

If you’re into history with a view, Palacio de Mondragón is an unmissable stop in Ronda’s Old Town. Perched near the edge of the Tajo Gorge, this 14th-century palace fuses Mudejar and Renaissance design in a way that feels more like a film set than a museum. Legend says it once housed Abbel Malik, son of the Sultan of Morocco—so yes, it comes with royal vibes.
Inside, you’ll find intricate courtyards, ancient mosaics, and one of the most stunning Mudejar wooden ceilings in Andalucía. It’s also home to Ronda’s Municipal Museum, where archaeological finds tell the story of the city—from its Moorish past to its Roman roots. Whether you’re a history geek or just here for the photo ops, this is the kind of place that makes you slow down and look closer.
