About Monda

Monda has a long history. Originally it was a settlement in Ibero-Roman style that was soon occupied by the Romans to protect the road to the major neighbouring village of Coin. After the Romans, the Moors came and built the remarkable fortress of the town. In 1485 Monda fell into the hands of Christian conquerors and the fortress remained more or less intact until 1570. However, after a failed Arab revolt the fortress was largely demolished. The ruins were left for more than 400 years until a German aristocrat bought the last remnants of the ruins in the 70’s and began to restore the fortress. A group of English businessmen subsequently completed the construction and created a luxury hotel – one of the many uses the fortress has had since.
