Iglesia del Espíritu Santo

The Iglesia del Espíritu Santo stands near the Almocábar gate, featuring a substantial bell tower and traditional Gothic architectural elements throughout its structure.

Construction of this religious building began in 1485 following the Reconquest of Ronda, with fortified elements added to protect against potential future attacks.

The church holds weekly Sunday masses for local families and contains a large funerary bier used during Easter processions through the streets of Ronda.

Visitors can explore the interior of the church, which includes a baroque retable behind the altar and preserved elements from the original mosque structure.

The church bell produces strong echoing sounds across the neighborhood, while an original Islamic prayer niche arch remains integrated within the Christian architecture.
