The history of Marbella<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Marbella boasts a rich history dating back to the Paleolithic era, but it was the Romans who left the most significant mark on these lands, followed by the Muslims who ruled the area during the Middle Ages. Finally, the city was conquered by Christian Spain in 1485, with the symbolic handing over of the city's keys taking place under a cross, which is now preserved in the Cruz del Humilladero, a small sanctuary in Malaga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 19th century, Marbella became the national capital of iron and steel smelting, thanks to the utilization of the first large furnaces in Spain. This industry boomed, with a staggering 75% of the country's iron being smelted in Marbella and its surroundings. However, the iron and steel industry eventually declined due to competition from the north of the country. This forced the region to pivot towards agriculture, and over time, it successfully cultivated and exported crops such as sugar cane and sugar beets on a large scale.
