The city of Marbella is a marvellous town located right in the middle of the Costa del Sol.
Its origins date from all the way back to 1600 BC., when it was founded by the Romans and called 'Salduba', a settlement on the Via Augusta.
In the year 711 the Moors invaded and conquered much of the Iberian Peninsula and under their rule Marbella became a prosperous town called 'Marbi-la'.
It's architecture took on a typically Moorish Mediterranean style, but after 1485 when the Catholic Kings entered the town Marbella became more 'Castellano' in appearance, and it was probably during this period that the name Marbella originated.
Throughout its long history Marbella has offered its visitors a typical Andalucian flavour, with narrow little streets, whitewashed houses, town squares decorated with flowers and the warm blue Mediterranean lapping at its beaches.
Today its economy is based on welcoming thousands of visitors and offering them lovely beaches, countless golf courses, world renowned yacht harbours, beautiful natural surroundings, luxury hotels, shopping centers and a vibrant nightlife.
