Facing away from the Ayuntamiento, follow the second street to the left of the church through the Plaza Mondragón and the Palacio Mondragón. This palace dates to 1491 and is one of Ronda’s most impressive in ornamentation. Inside, the original Moorish elements are maintained from the days when the palace belonged to the Moorish king Abb el Malik, son of the Sultan of Morocco. There are three Mudéjar courtyards surrounded by brick arches and adorned with mosaic tiles, numerous Moorish-inspired keyhole entryways, gardens and ceilings of intricate wood marquetry. After having defeated the Moors, King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella returned to Ronda and stayed in this palace. The outer façade with its two brick towers was rebuilt in the 18th century. It is now occupied by a museum devoted to Ronda and the surrounding areas of the serranía.
