In addition to these remains and its past, this temple harmoniously combines the Renaissance, Gothic and Baroque style that can be seen in elements such as the two-story choir, the columns and the façade, which stands out for its original three-story gallery and a tall brick tower.

  The Arab Baths, built at the end of the 13th century and located in the old Jewish quarter, next to the Guadalevín river and the Culebras stream, are the best preserved hot springs of this type in Spain and another of the most beautiful places to visit in Ronda. Following the example of Roman baths, the enclosure has a cold room, a warm room and a hot room, which were used for the purification of the bodies before entering the Medina and for the social relations of the locals. Currently the three rooms are preserved, in which the central one stands out, which has several horseshoe arches and beautiful star-shaped skylights, in addition to the entire hydraulic system and the boiler used to heat the water.

  This palace, built by the Arabs in the 14th century, had a Water Mine that safely supplied water to the entire city in cases of siege, through a large waterwheel located in one of its rooms. The Christians, aware of this weakness, focused their attacks on the wheel, causing the city to surrender in a few days and turning this palace into a key place in the history of the Reconquista.
