Plaza Duquesa de Parcent, Ronda
Square in Ronda
The Plaza Duquesa de Parcent or Duchess of Parcent Square is considered to be one of the most beautiful in Ronda.
Because during the Moorish domination, it used to welcome the town’s main buildings, you can now find several monuments and historical palaces that are worth a visit.
It’s surrounded by several monuments including the City Hall but the most remarkable is undoubtedly Church of Santa María la Mayor. It is adjacent to the convents of Caridad or Charity and the Claristas or the ‘Poor Clares’. Each convent has its own private iglesia or chapel. The order of Caridad nuns are famous for baking special biscuits and cakes for Christmas, which the enclosed order sells through a ‘turno’, or revolving hatch, in the door.
