The Arab castle of Álora, also known as Castillo de Álora, sits atop Cerro de las Torres overlooking the town and is one of the most important historical structures in the region. The fortress, in its present form, dates back to the Moorish rule of the Middle Ages, although the site had been used and fortified in earlier periods. Due to its strategic location, the castle controlled the Guadalhorce Valley and served both military and administrative purposes. It was captured by Christian troops in 1484 during the Reconquista. Remaining are sections of the imposing curtain walls, square towers, and a horseshoe-arched gate, typical of Islamic military architecture. Within the complex are also remnants of later Christian buildings, including a chapel built over a former mosque. The castle has been a listed building (Bien de Interés Cultural) since 1931 and offers a wide view over Álora and the Guadalhorce valley from its elevated position.

The Mirador Alí Ben Falcún “Al Baezi” viewpoint lies below Álorá Castle on the castle hill and offers a sweeping view of the town, the Guadalhorce Valley, and the surrounding landscape. The path to the top is steep and requires some effort, but the climb is more than worth it. The view compensates for the strenuous ascent with an impressive panorama that vividly illustrates Álorá's unique location between the river valley and the mountains. The viewpoint is named after Alí Ben Falcún, a figure from the Moorish era, thus commemorating the town's long Islamic history. Today, the Mirador is a cherished viewpoint that combines historical significance with scenic beauty, inviting a moment of quiet reflection.

The Church of the Incarnation (Iglesia de la Encarnación) is the most important and largest church in Marbella's old town and is considered one of the city's most significant historical buildings. Begun in the 16th century, it was expanded over several centuries, resulting in a blend of Gothic, Renaissance, and, most notably, Baroque styles. The 18th-century Baroque portal, crafted from fine limestone and framed by sculptural decoration and two columns, is particularly striking. The imposing bell tower, which dominates the cityscape, also dates from the 18th century. Inside, the church has a three-aisled basilica layout with tall columns and richly decorated chapels. A remarkable work of art is the monumental organ, installed in 1975, which is among the largest in Andalusia. Many elements of the interior furnishings were acquired from older chapels or stately homes after the Christian reconquest of the region. The church stands on the site of the former main Muslim mosque, the remains of which were discovered during archaeological investigations – a testament to Marbella's long cultural and historical development. Today, the Iglesia de la Encarnación is the city's religious center and the focal point of many traditional processions, festivals, and religious celebrations, especially during Semana Santa (Holy Week).
