Casco Antiguo de Marbella

The Ermita de Santiago is the oldest religious building in Marbella, dating from the 15th century, shortly after the Crown of Castile conquered the city. It stands on the Plaza de los Naranjos in the heart of the old town. The chapel has a single rectangular nave covered with Islamic tiles. A historic landmark in the Casco Antiguo, it offers a glimpse of the region's earliest Christian architecture and stands in contrast to the city's later development. Here you can experience firsthand the simple yet distinctive construction and the cultural influences of the past.
