Museo Taurino De La Real Maestranza De Caballería De Ronda

The goal of the Ronda Bullfighting Museum is to provide simple and clear information about the Royal Cavalry Order of Ronda (Real Maestranza de Caballería de Ronda), its influence on the development and evolution of bullfighting as an art form, and the place Ronda holds in the history of the Spanish national tradition. Located beneath the seating of the bullring, the Ronda Bullfighting Museum offers a chronological journey through the key aspects of bullfighting, the city of Ronda, its relationship with horsemanship, and ultimately with the institution itself, which has promoted this cultural tradition. Entrance not included on Tuesdays.

The New Bridge is the most iconic monument in the city of Ronda, Málaga. Built between 1751 and 1793, it was the tallest bridge in the world until 1839, standing at 98 metres high. It connects the historic and modern parts of the city.

Plaza de Espana

Ronda's Plaza de España is a central urban space, one of the city’s most emblematic and busiest squares. It is located in the New Town (Ciudad Nueva), at the southern end of Calle Virgen de la Paz, and connects to other important streets like Calle Nueva and Calle Rosario. This square serves as the main gateway to "La Ciudad" — the old and monumental part of Ronda — accessed from the modern commercial area via the impressive New Bridge.

Duration 20 minutes

Iglesia de Santa Maria la Mayor

This church was built by order of the Catholic Monarchs on the site of the former main mosque. Its structure is Gothic, though its naves and main altar are in Renaissance style. One detail not to miss is the arch that once led to the mihrab, a typical feature of all mosques.

These baths reflect the Muslim adaptation of Roman bathhouses and feature the same layout: cold, warm, and hot rooms, hypocaust system, boiler, and reception room.
