This is one of the many attractions in Ronda, although in this case, it is not as well-known. These are the fortress gates from the 13th century, with walls located near the old Muslim cemetery, flanked by semicircular towers serving as shelters for guards. From the towers, you can now see Plaza San Francisco and the Church of the Holy Spirit.
You can climb the towers via some narrow stairs parallel to the towers, which you will see on the left if you follow the path in the image.
The Almocabar Gate, located in the south of Ronda and connected to the historic center, is one of the many attractions in Ronda, although in this case, it is not as well-known. These are the fortress gates and remnants of the old city walls from the 13th century, located near the old Muslim cemetery, flanked by semicircular towers serving as shelters for guards. From the towers, you can now see Plaza San Francisco and the Church of the Holy Spirit. The gate was built in the 13th century, and in 1485, Catholic Monarchs Ferdinand and Isabella triumphantly entered Ronda through this gate. It was expanded during the reign of Charles V. Free admission is available through the slope or side entrance.
