Marchena’s core grew from an Islamic alcázar; later noble patronage during the Renaissance produced many of the churches and palaces visible today.
Conservation
The town manages foot traffic in sensitive historic zones and encourages reuse of buildings rather than new construction to preserve character and reduce environmental impact.
