Ronda - Santa María la Mayor

From the new bridge Calle del Teniente Gordo runs south to the picturesque Plaza de la Duquesa de Parcent, in which is the church of Santa María la Mayor. Originally a mosque, the church has preserved four Moorish domes; the Gothic aisles flanking the nave and the tall Plateresque Capilla Mayor were added in Christian times. The church has fine Renaissance stalls and a Moorish mihrab (prayer niche indicating the direction of Mecca).
