Renaissance town hall square

Andalucia Tour ~ Malaga (Region) The old town of Marbella is located at the foot of the Sierra Blanca Mountains, facing the beautiful bay. Its beautiful layout showcases its traditional Andalusian character, with a neat white façade adorned with a bar and geraniums, and orange trees growing around every corner. The heart of the town is the Plaza de Los Naranjos, which dates back to the Renaissance and is flanked by elegant buildings such as the Town Hall (16th century) and the Casa del Corregidor (17th century). The Plazuela de la Iglesia is home to the Iglesia Mayor de la Encarnación church, which dates back to the 16th century. It also has a tower that was part of the city’s old Arab fortress and was built in the 9th century. There are many archaeological sites scattered around the area, including the Paleo-Christian Cathedral of Vega del Mar, the Roman Baths of Guadalmina and the Roman Villas of Rio Verde, which have rich traces of their Roman origins. Marbella's rich cultural offering is completed by the Spanish Museum of Contemporary Sculpture, considered the best gallery of its kind in Spain. Housed in the 16th-century Hospital Bazán, it houses an extensive collection of 19th- and 20th-century prints, including works by masters such as Picasso, Miró and Dalí. #2024TravelReview #SpainTravel #Andalucia
