The Martos´s House

Monuments and Art > Manor House

This house, which we know today with the generic name of the Casa del Campillo, is owned by the Martos’s family.
Anecdotally Don Francisco Martos, who built the house, had an issue with market gardeners because they had destroyed the gate where the road begins today and that was the entrance and exit to access the Mills and orchards. This did not please the gardeners, who reported the abuse and attitude of the owner, who throw stones to them when they went up the road. But the door was not placed. In return, a tile was with the inscription "City of Ronda, Gate of the Mills"
The house has an enviable strategic position and is a stately home with a very solid structure and a mahogany woodwork, especially doors and baseboards. Don Francisco Martos was very good lawyer and won a dispute with a family in Cuba and brought beautiful mahogany wood which he then used for his house. Besides this detail of the doors, baseboards and furniture, the house has a wealth of important ceramics Seville and Granada style.
The basement of the house were dedicated to the service, kitchens and laundry, and there was also a chicken house and a small orchard. The garden, though small, is very cute and has a wonderful panoramic view of the north of Ronda.
The heirs (the grandchildren of the family) have tried cccasionally to install some kind of tourist type activity, but all attempts have failed. Because of its location, its facilities and especially the important to the plot, it would be worthwhile to be taken into account by the Municipality, for the ability to retrieve and put it in as part of the heritage value of Ronda.
