Ermita de Santiago
Ermita de Santiago (Plaza de los Naranjos, Marbella) – built during the late 15th century (around the time of Christopher Columbus, and just after the conquest of the city by Christian forces in 1485), this is reputed to be the oldest religious building in Marbella. This church now holds religious images belonging to the Cofradia del Cristo del Amor y La Virgen de la Caridad (the Brotherhood of Love and Charity) and it includes a wooden carving of Christ in Neo-Baroque style. At Christmas, this small chapel is transformed into a nativity diorama, which is remarkable in its detail.
