Plaza de Los Naranjos, Marbella

The town's prettiest square retains its original Renaissance-style fountain, 15th-century chapel, stately mansions and, of course, the orange trees that give it its name. Plaza de los Naranjos was the centre of commercial and political life in Marbella for centuries. It has had many names: Main Square, Constitution Square, and Isabel II Square. What's now the Town Hall was a prison during the 19th century. Fortunately, it has been carefully preserved and restored and offers a wonderful environment in which to relax.
