Within the Sierra de las Nieves World Biosphere Reserve, Ronda occupies a unique place. Its historical and cultural heritage is comparable to that of other cities such as Antequera, Priego de Córdoba, and Alhama de Granada. Its long history features a prominent role played by Al-Andalus culture; Ronda was the capital of the Takurunna taifa and played a key role during the Nasrid period, both economically and defensively, which is why it preserves numerous remains of its ancient citadel and its imposing walls, worthy of a first-rate medina.
The walls enclosed the urban area and other adjacent spaces, such as the suburbs and certain industrial areas, through a complex system of fortified walls and access gates, sometimes flanked by towers. Notable examples include the Puerta de la Cíjara, the Puerta de Viento (or Puerta del Almocábar), the Puerta de los Molinos, and the Puerta del Cristo… which stand as true examples of Al-Andalus’s fortified heritage on the Iberian Peninsula and provided protection and security to their inhabitants for centuries.
