Also known as the Castillo-Palacio de los Condes de Padul, or simply El Castillo, this 16th-century civil palace was built on the site of a fortified house.

The chapel houses a sculpture of the town’s patron saint, San Sebastián. It was built thanks to local donations. Construction of the eighteenth-century chapel was prompted by a plague that devastated the Lecrín Valley but spared Padul itself.

The Padul tram station, which is now home to the Lecrín Valley Tourist Office, witnessed the inauguration of the important transport link between Granada and the south of the province on 10 February 1923.

Dating to the sixteenth century, the church has undergone several modifications and restorations. The main nave's configuration corresponds to the original design, with the apse and two side naves being added later.

Dating from the seventeenth century, the church was built on the site of an earlier church from the beginning of the sixteenth century.

Torre del Rio Real - next to the A-7 coast road just east of Marbella town   

The Rio Real watchtower is located near the south-western bank of the Rio Real, on raised ground. This land is now a bend in the A-7 coastal road. A few metres away, on its southern side, there were abandoned Civil Guard barracks. There is no documentation of a tower at the time of the Reconquest of Marbella in 1485, so it is assumed that this tower was built at the end of the 16th century as part of the Hapsburg defensive strategy, with later modifications.

This is a defensive watchtower from the XVI century. It takes its name from the Roman baths, which are about 50 metres to the west. It is one of a chain of towers along the coast built at that time to warn the locals of pirates and possible Moorish invasions from North Africa. It is slightly conical in shape, but less so than the others, and leads to a larger terrace, perhaps to accommodate larger artillery. Built of stone, not brick, it is 13m high and has a diameter of 8.3m at the base.
