Iglesia de Santa María la Mayor

Absolutely amazing. Spend some time here in peace and see if you can climb to the top of the church. The views are amazing, absolutely breathtaking. Very peaceful! For history buffs, lots to explore!

A beautiful church that used to be a Islamic mosque. It has 2 sections and both are amazingly adorned. A definite must visit when in Ronda.

Beautiful cathedral and I highly recommend climbing the spiral stairs to the roof for incredible views of the city! The climb is a lot of steps but completely worth it for the views on the roof!

Superb church to visit - the entrance is 4.5€ per person but you have so much to see: - beautiful church, - crypt with very old books (12th to 16th century), - small exhibit of old icons, - panoramic view of the top after climbing a beautiful stone carved stair Fantastic !

The entry price is well worth it. Don't forget to take the stairs up onto the roof ("the decks") to enjoy a good view of Ronda and the surrounding countryside.

Impressive interior! Don’t miss to take the spiral stairs and enjoy 360 view from the rooftop.

Amen🙏Wonderful church. My only complaint is that the basement is full of replicas of books. I’d much rather see some local treatures🤑 The view on the ceiling is fabulous.

This is a fascinating church in a beautiful square in the Old Town, La Ciudad. The square,Plaza Duquesa de Parcent, has a beautiful little park and also houses the impressive Ayuntamiento de Ronda ( Town hall ). The square is just down the street from the Mondregal Palace and is a very short distance from Puente Nuevo but could be a million miles away from hustle and bustle of the tourist trail and selfie shower. The church charges €4 entry but is well worth more. It was originally a Roman Temple , then a Mosque and then converted to a Catholic Parish Church. The beautiful bell tower was originally a minaret and like the Giralda had a bell tower added when constructed as a church. Inside the door is the remains of the Mihrab ( the Muslim door facing Mecca ) , a very impressive choir stalls in beautifully carved wood. The nave is divided from the choir by a beautiful wall of copper images of the Stations of The Cross. An excellent treasury has some lovely pieces.
