    The Puerta de Almocábar is one of the main gateways to Ronda’s old town and an important vestige of medieval times. Built in the 11th century during Muslim rule, this gate was part of the city walls, designed to protect it from possible invasion. Its name comes from the Arabic word "almocábar", meaning cemetery or resting place, as it was located near an ancient Muslim cemetery. The door features an Islamic style with defensive elements, such as an architrave and a crenellated tower. Today, the Almocábar Gate is one of the most representative points of medieval Ronda history, and your visit offers a fascinating tour of the wall that surrounded the city in Islamic times.
