MARBELLA CENTER
MARBELLA’S OLD TOWN
Marbella’s Old Town, also known as Casco Antiguo, is a captivating labyrinth of narrow streets, whitewashed buildings, and picturesque squares nestled within the heart of the city. Its history dates back to the Roman era when Marbella was known as Salduba, serving as a trading post and agricultural center.
During the Moorish period, the town flourished as a fortified settlement known as Marbil-la, featuring defensive walls, towers, and gates that protected it from invasions. Many of the narrow streets and alleys that wind through the Old Town today still bear traces of its Moorish heritage, with charming architectural details and hidden courtyards waiting to be discovered.
In the 15th century, Marbella was reconquered by the Catholic Monarchs, leading to the construction of Christian churches and the expansion of the town. The Old Town’s layout reflects this blend of Moorish and Spanish influences, with historic landmarks such as the Church of the Encarnación and the Ermita de Santiago adding to its cultural significance.
Throughout the centuries, Marbella’s Old Town has been a melting pot of cultures, attracting merchants, artisans, and travelers from across the Mediterranean. This cultural exchange has left its mark on the town’s architecture, cuisine, and traditions, creating a vibrant tapestry of influences that continues to thrive today.
Today, Marbella’s Old Town is not only a living testament to its rich history but also a hub of cultural activity. Visitors can explore its charming streets, browse artisan shops, and dine at traditional taverns serving Andalusian delicacies. The Plaza de los Naranjos, with its orange trees and outdoor cafes, serves as the lively heart of the Old Town, where locals and visitors gather to soak in the ambiance and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere.
