Located in Ronda, the Palacio de Salvatierra features a notable entrance and a garden with views of the Sierra de las Nieves.

The Palacio de Salvatierra in Ronda, Malaga, is a building that focuses its decoration on a unique entrance. This entrance is organized around a pair of Corinthian order columns on each side of a wide lintelled door, above which sits a finely decorated stone frieze starting a balcony enclosed by a magnificent iron grille.

The most striking element of this entrance is a group of four figures that support a straight pediment above their heads. In the center of this pediment is the coat of arms of the promoters of the building. The palace is cataloged as a monument and was published in the BOE in 1982.

Inside, the palace features a valuable set of furniture and high-quality decorative and artistic objects, such as carvings and paintings. The rear of the house contains a garden from which one can see a wide view of the Sierra de las Nieves. In the immediate vicinity, one can also see the remains of the old medieval walls of the city and its baths.
