What you can expect

From medieval walls to modern artistic expression, this curated journey reveals how Marbella evolved from a Moorish stronghold into a refined Mediterranean destination with a surprising artistic soul.

Part I – The Old Town: Layers of History
Your experience begins in Marbella’s charming casco antiguo, where narrow streets still follow the footprint of its Islamic medina. Beyond dates and monuments, you will gain context — understanding how geography, trade and culture shaped the town’s identity.

During this guided walk you will explore:

  • The remains of the Moorish fortifications
  • Plaza de los Naranjos and its Renaissance civic buildings
  • The transformation of Marbella after the Reconquista

Part II – The Contemporary Engraving Museum
The second part of the experience takes place inside the Palacio Bazán, a remarkable Renaissance building that now hosts one of Spain’s most specialised collections dedicated to contemporary engraving.

Here, we explore:

  • The tradition and technique of Spanish engraving
  • Selected works by prominent modern artists incl. Picasso and Miró
