Iglesia de la Merced

The Iglesia de la Merced stands as a religious structure with white stone walls and traditional Spanish architectural elements in central Ronda.

The church building dates back to 1577, when Bishop Francisco Pacheco de Córdoba documented it during his inspection of regional religious establishments.

The Discalced Carmelite nuns maintain the church's traditions by producing handmade confections and preserving religious practices within its walls.

Visitors can access the church daily between 10:15 AM to 1:15 PM and 4:45 PM to 6:45 PM through its central location near Alameda.

The church houses the preserved left hand of Saint Teresa of Avila, which General Franco kept in his quarters until 1975.
