Culture · Estepona

About

• Torre del Reloj (16th c.): bell tower of the old church of Los Remedios, damaged in the 1755 earthquake and demolished afterwards; neoclassical bell section from the 18th century
• Church of Ntra. Sra. de los Remedios (late 18th c.), a former Franciscan convent: doorway with Marian, Franciscan and pre-Columbian symbols
• Remains of the Castillo de San Luis, built in the time of Philip II (late 16th c.) after the Morisco rebellion
• On a castle wall is the plaque with the poem "Colores de Estepona"

Good to know

• Everything is 5 minutes' walk from Plaza de las Flores: fit it into your stroll around the old town
• The castle has been under works since March 2024 to turn it into a museum centre; in October 2026 no opening date has been published, so you can only see it from outside
• The Archaeological Museum (Casa del Aljibe, Plaza Blas Infante) is still 'temporarily closed for refurbishment' according to the tourism website
• The church can only be visited inside during Mass times
