Monuments and places of interest in Marbella

  • Marbella historic center
    • Plaza de los Naranjos: Located in the center and old town of the town. It is characterized by being a typical Malaga square with Andalusian white houses. The square surrounded by historical buildings such as a hermitage, the town hall and the Corregidor’s house. In the center there is a Renaissance fountain surrounded by orange trees that gives the actual  square its name. During the Middle Ages this space was used as a market. During its history the square has changed its name several times as: Public Square, the Cabildo, Del Generalísimo Franco, or the Constitution. Until the beginning of the 20th century there were no trees, in 1920 palm trees were planted but 40 orange trees were subsequently planted due to lack of shade.Plaza de los Naranjos Marbella Malaga
    • Town Hall: Located in Plaza de los Naranjos. It is one of the most emblematic and oldest buildings in the city. Built in 1572 just after the reconquest by the Catholic Monarchs, hence several commemorative inscriptions in old Castilian. We highlight on its facade a sundial and several shields. The building has been renovated several times, highlighting the forged balcony in 1632 and the second extension in 1779.
    • Corregidor House: It is one of the most emblematic houses in the city and in the old town. It was built around the year 1552.

In 1905 it became the church of the parish of the same name Santiago. Later it lost the condition of church reaching our days as a hermitage. Inside they house the images of the brotherhood of the Holy Christ of Love: Holy Mary of Clarity and Saint John the Evangelist.Hermitage of Santiago Marbella Malaga
