The History of Ronda

According to some historians, the Bastuli Celts gave the place the name Arunda.

Arunda and Acinipo, sometimes called Ronda La Vieja or “Old Ronda”, were settled by the Romans.

Acinipo was one of the most important cities in the Roman province of Baetica and is mentioned by Pliny and Ptolemy.

The theatre, one of the most important in Roman Spain, is one of the most remarkable ruins of the city.

The Romans built the castle of Laurus in Arunda, and on which the Muslim citadel was later built.

Following the Visigothic era, Ronda rose to prominence under Muslim authority when Arunda adopted the name Izna Rand Onda.

It was one of the most significant fortifications in Andalusia.

Omar, a wealthy descendant of the Visigothic family, led a uprising of the Muladi, who were once Christians and converted to Islam.
