In the 7th and 8th centuries, the Phoenicians arrived in the vicinity of Benalmadena in search of mineral deposits, which they successfully exported across the Mediterranean Basin. Later, Phoenician settlements were overtaken and replaced by the expanding Roman Empire. The town's modern name was given in the 11th century by the Moors \u2013 Banu Al Madena<\/q><\/em>, meaning son of the mine<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Middle Ages, the life of Benalmadena's inhabitants unfolded amidst the town and castle's formidable defensive walls, serving an important function as a coastal defense point between the cities of Mijas and Malaga. In 1456, as a result of a Christian raid during the Reconquista, the walls and other structures were almost completely destroyed, leaving little of the town intact. The surviving residents were transported, among other places, to Mijas to rebuild their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
