Monda has a small central village square, Plaza de la Ermita, with the Monument to the Miner and some interesting bars. Just outside the square, on Calle de la Jaula is the preserved municipal lavadero and the popular Bar Luna and Bodega de la Plazolete.
Fuente Lavadero de la Jaula is the town fountain and roofed lavadero (public laundry area), once a focus for social exchange, which dates from the 16th century.
Casa Museo Marigloria is a charming museum in Monda that offers a glimpse into the town’s rich history and cultural heritage. Showcasing a collection of traditional Andalusian artifacts, handcrafted textiles, and antique furnishings, the museum provides visitors with an authentic experience of local life in the past. A visit to Casa Museo Marigloria is a wonderful way to immerse yourself in the history and traditions of Monda.
