Mondragón´s Palace is a Mudejar-Renaissance building located in the old town of Ronda.
Although different sources place it as the residence of the kings of the Taifa de Ronda, the historical data relate that it is a palace of Andalusian origin. In the 14th century, the Benimeri king Abd al Malik, son of the sultan of Morocco Abul Hassan, resided. After the death of Abd al Malik, Ronda happened to depend on the Kingdom of Granada and the palace happened to be the residence of the nazarí governor being its last occupant Hamed el Zegrí.
Of the times in which Ronda was Muslim, there is only the layout of its plant, the foundations and underground passages that connected the garden with the old fortress.
Ronda is conquered by the Catholic Monarchs on May 24, 1485, fixing their residence in the palace during their stay in the city after which passes into the hands of Captain Melchor de Mondragón, whose shield appears on the cover and which will give the palace its name .
If some of you come to Ronda someday I can show you this beautiful place 😉
