A Historic Treasure Since 1485
The origins of Orange Square Marbella (Plaza de los Naranjos) go back to 1485, right after the Christian reconquest. It was designed as the central meeting point of Marbella, where the main buildings of power and religion were located. Today, you can still admire the Town Hall, built in 1568 in Renaissance style, the Mayor’s House (Casa del Corregidor) with its Gothic-Mudejar façade, and the Chapel of Santiago, the oldest religious building in the city. Together, they create a living open-air museum that transports visitors back in time.
The Charm of the Orange Trees
What gives this square its name are the dozens of orange trees that surround the Renaissance fountain in the center. When they blossom, the air fills with the sweet aroma of orange blossoms, creating one of the most unforgettable atmospheres in Marbella. Sitting at one of the terraces under their shade is the perfect way to enjoy a coffee, a glass of wine, or a traditional tapa while soaking in the local lifestyle.
