More about Casa Del Rey Moro
The Casa Del Rey Moro, though named a 'moor's house', was built in the 18th century with elements added from earlier periods. The water mine itself is a significant engineering feat from the Islamic period, designed to secure water access during sieges. The site is accessible from Ronda's city center and is open to visitors for a fee. The gardens, designed by French architect Jean-Claude Nicolas Forestier in 1912, add to its historical layers.
