What a wonderful place, easy to navigate and full of surprises. We disliked the noise of the outside tours that seem not to understand that this is still a church but once the tours had left, I had the whole place to myself to just sit and contemplate the beautiful architecture and art.

This Iglesia is very important to the little town of Rondo. It's presence on the square is essential since it forms one side. It is unusual in that it has balconies to view events in the square. There is an intricate facade in the rear, but the most impressive thing to see is the side alters: tents that are carved... More

This is a beautiful, old church, which is still in use. In a side room are all the processional regalia and gold, behind glass, of course. A short walk from the main square and bullring, it is well worth a visit, if only for the cool quiet interior. Entrance is free, and when no service is being held, only a... More

Interesting history in this church. 4 euro tour offers audio guide which explains the architecture and history inside this monument. While contents span centuries, much of the art is from the 19th & 20th century with excellent examples of paintings, wood and metal sculpture. Very pleasant stop for a visit while in Ronda.

The volume of the church is impressive and the side chapels are beautiful in the high baroque manner.

This church is very picturesque from outside. It is located in the old town in front of the town hall. The admission fee is 4 Euros which includes an audio guide. We walked through the church and visited all the chapels while listening to the audio guide for old Spanish history. The art and the architecture are fantastic and it... More

This is a very unusual church in that it has arched "theater boxes" built into its facade so that dignitaries of long ago could watch events in the main square. A portion of the remaining Mirhab just inside the entrance is a delicate beauty. The informative audio guide is complementary with the entrance fee.
