Take your cheap car hire in Marbella and ride along the history of the town!
The first settlements come from human concentrations around the Guadaiza and Verde rivers in the Cerro Colorao and Torrón areas.
Well-articulated populations in the field and prepared to receive the influx of merchants arriving from the Mediterranean East.
2,700 years ago the Phoenicians settled on these coasts, in Rio Real and in the Chapas area, starting an economic activity based on exchanges with the native populations and the production of fish salting, a fundamental element of the prosperity of the next centuries.
The Romans will reinforce this exploitation, especially the garum, sauce that would be exported throughout the Empire.
The most important Roman settlements are found next to the stream of Chopo and Río Verde, where there are remains of some hot springs, a paleo-christian basilica and mosaic pavements that could belong to a population called Salduba.
On the remains of another Roman settlement, possibly Cilniana, a Muslim fortress was built 1,000 years ago that will give birth to what we now call Casco Antiguo de Marbella
The arrival of the Muslims supposed the definitive abandonment of the coastal settlements and favoured the creation of defensive structures in height as it is the case of Cerro Torrón, Alicates or Nagüeles.
Sheltered by these fortifications called husun, concentrations of peasant population emerged.
From the spatial point of view, the dispersion of the population together with these shelters in height forms a feudal political-economic order characterized by its autonomy and by giving answers to defensive concerns rather than to the organization of production and the creation of wealth. .
This model of locations and administrative division will extend throughout the Middle Ages, giving rise to the so-called Land of Marbella.
In which there is a network of peasant villages, called farmhouses, such as Tramores or Daidin whose social and economic ties will remain during the centuries of Arab domination.
The fortification will play a prominent role in the Muslim strife through the Strait of Gibraltar; first, as a possession of the Marinid protectorate over this area and, later, as a fortified town in Granada at the western end of its kingdom.
In these centuries the lines of the urban development of Marbella are fixed.
The configuration of the Nasrid urban space responded to the classic city model of al-Andalus, while its space is organized around three fundamental elements: city or walled Madina, the citadel as a centre of power and a zone of expansion outside the walls constituted by the suburbs.
The central nucleus or Madina corresponds to what we know today as Historic District.
In June of 1485, Marbella was taken over by the Catholic Monarchs, the city received the new settlers or settlers dismissing a good part of the Islamic population.
Its incorporation into the Crown of Castile marks the birth of Christian Marbella.
The new situation meant a quick and radical transformation of the social body of the city, as Muslims were forced to leave their homes, and the beginning of significant transformations of the road network and the public space of the city within the walls, such as the construction of Plaza de los Naranjos, one of the most significant spaces of the new society in response to the economic development of the period.
Throughout the sixteenth century, the urban space will continue to undergo changes in its physiognomy resulting from a cluster of architectural and urban transformations that will adapt the city to new religious and social patterns, as shown by the construction of San Juan de Dios Hospital, Casa Bazán or the Convent of the Trinity.
Marbella will continue to suffer from the difficulties of being a borderland, which generated a general atmosphere of fear at the constant incursions of Turkish and Moorish pirates.
The construction of the beacon towers blurred by the coast meant a defensive improvement and the vertebration of the territory.
The defensive system was completed in the 18th century with the construction of the Fort of San Luis and the Battery of Lance de las Cañas.
The seventeenth century was a prosperous era. The exports of raisins and wines allowed Marbella to become an important exporting centre, to which must be added the development of a promising sugar industry.
Marbella will begin its urban profile in the 18th century.
The walls will be demolished or embedded by new constructions that will house a growing population despite recurring natural and demographic catastrophes.
The city exceeds the security framework of its walls extending eastward, creating the germ of the known as El Barrio.
To the south, the construction of the Alameda will become the symbol of the new times marked by prosperity, giving a new configuration to the urban environment.
The nineteenth century was marked by the presence of several negative factors that allowed the continuity of an economic, social and demographic system typical of the Old Regime.
The revitalization of the cultivation and manufacture of sugar cane and the pioneering and successful initiative of the Rio Verde ferreries, protagonists in the industrialization process of the country, had a conjunctural character and could not revert the existing model.
The decline of these industries in the sixties will coincide with one of the most important events that mark this century: the creation of the agricultural colony of San Pedro Alcántara.
