Ronda was part of the Visigoth realm until 713, when it fell to the Umayyad troops, who named it Hisn al-Rundah ("Castle of Rundah") and made it the capital of the Takurunna province.
Later, the Visigothic king Liuvigild captured the city. In the fifth century AD, Ronda was conquered by the Suebi, led by Rechila, being reconquered in the following century by the Eastern Roman Empire, under whose rule Acinipo was abandoned. Ronda received the title of city at the time of Julius Caesar. The current Ronda is of Roman origins, having been founded as a fortified post in the Second Punic War, by Scipio Africanus. Later Phoenician settlers established themselves nearby to found Acinipo (sometimes referred to as Ronda la Vieja, Old Ronda). Ronda was, however, first settled by the early Celts, who called it Arunda in the sixth century BC. It is one of the towns and villages that is included in the Sierra de las Nieves National Park.Īround the city are remains of prehistoric settlements dating to the Neolithic, including the rock art of Cueva de la Pileta. Ronda is known for its cliffside location and a deep canyon that carries the Guadalevín River and divides the town. It is located about 105 km (65 mi) west of the city of Málaga, within the autonomous community of Andalusia.
