The Murallas de la Cijara comprise a fortified enclosure overlooking the river Guadalevín in Ronda, Málaga. Built during the Islamic period and reinforced in the medieval era, these defensive walls protected a vulnerable section of the city that lacked the natural protection of surrounding gorges. The Puerta de la Cijara and accompanying walls rank among Ronda's best-preserved fortifications. Visitors can climb the historic steps to walk along the walls, where panoramic views sweep across lush valleys and the winding Guadalevín River that carved through the dramatic landscape below.
