Marbella city walls, Medieval defensive walls in Marbella, Spain
The castle walls encircle the historic center of Marbella with stone fortifications measuring 6 meters in height and 1.5 meters in thickness.
Construction of the defensive walls began in the year 900 under the Caliphate of Cordoba to protect the coastline from Norman raids.
The walls incorporate Roman-era elements, including Ionic capitals in the Polvora Tower, demonstrating the integration of different architectural periods.
Visitors can access the walls through the Old Town district, where guided tours provide information about the fortification's defensive features.
The Treaty of Marbella, signed within these walls in 1286, established peace between regional kingdoms during a period of territorial disputes.
