Casa del Gigante, 14th-century Nasrid palace in Ronda, Spain
The Casa del Gigante features traditional Moorish architecture with horseshoe arches surrounding two courtyards, including an inner one with decorative ponds and orange trees.
Before the Christian conquest of Ronda in 1485, this building served as a residence for noble families near the royal court during the Moorish period.
The walls display intricate Arabic tiles containing poetry and verses from the Koran, while the main hall exhibits a Phoenician-Hittite stone relief statue.
The palace museum opens daily from 10:00 AM, with extended hours during spring and summer, offering guided tours and historical video presentations for 2 euros.
The original entrance remains inaccessible due to adjacent construction, requiring visitors to enter through a formerly sealed courtyard that now serves as the main access point.
