Wandering through this neighborhood reveals its history, architectural heritage, and welcoming atmosphere, where shops, restaurants, and cafés blend with monuments and public spaces full of charm.
Plaza de los Naranjos

Its orange trees provide shade and freshness, while the cafés and restaurants invite you to enjoy local gastronomy in a unique historical setting.
Campanario de la Encarnación
The Campanario de la Encarnación is part of the Church of the Incarnation, an emblematic 16th-century building. Its tower is one of the symbols of the Old Town and serves as a visual landmark from various points in the neighborhood. The church and bell tower stand out for their Renaissance and Baroque architecture, as well as their historical relevance to Marbella’s religious and cultural life.
The Castle
The Castle of Marbella, located in the Old Town, is a vestige of the Moorish era and a witness to the city’s defensive history. Although mainly ruins remain today, its strategic location highlights its past importance in protecting the urban center and offers interesting views of the Old Town’s surroundings.
