La Merced Church (Ronda)

Highlight • Religious Site

This church, located in the historic center of Ronda, is from the 16th century and is famous for keeping the incorrupt hand of Saint Teresa of Jesus, a 17th-century reliquary. It is said that when exhuming her remains, Father Jerónimo Gracián cut off her hand and handed it over to the Order of the Discalced Carmelites. After many trips between Spain and Portugal, it finally fell into the hands of the nuns of the Ronda convent in the 19th century. The reliquary, in the shape of a hand, is made of silver inlaid with precious stones.

View from Ronda's city walls

Great views over the beautiful landscapes and surroundings of Ronda.
But actually this Highlight is about the: The walls of the city of Ronda.
One of the reasons Ronda is so important in the history of Andalusia is directly related to how secure the city was, a position that allowed Ronda to develop and be independent. The city walls combined with the gorge and the Guadalevín River made Ronda immune to attack.

From the Plaza María Auxiliadora, there is an unpaved path that descends to the viewpoint, from where you can get the famous view of Ronda with the Puente Nuevo.
