Built on the remains of an old Moorish palace in Ronda’s old town, Casa del Rey Moro, or House of the Moorish King, is a notable site despite never having been inhabited by a Moorish king. The attraction is best known for its hanging gardens and a 14th-century water mine, which was constructed to provide the city with a secret supply of water during times of siege. Today, visitors can explore these historic features, experiencing the lush greenery of the gardens and the cool, dimly lit passages of the water mine, offering a glimpse into the strategic and architectural ingenuity of the past.
