1st Plaza of the Constitution
So called since the 80s when an ornamental fountain was installed. The canvases of the wall and the towers give shape to its hamlet, which since the s. XVI is attached to the round corridor. The Puerta de Berral would be located at its opening, which served to communicate the old medina with the suburbs.
2º Old Square
En ella se situarían las carnicerías, los mesones y las tiendas desde el s. XV. Aquí destacaríamos lafachada de azulejos del Hostal Ponce, en época de Primo de Rivera, y el monumento al FilósofoRancio, dominico, obra del escultor Lorenzo Coullaut Valera
3rd Arco de la Rosa or Puerta de Sevilla
Its name is due to a medieval legend and because it communicated the town with the capital of the kingdom of Seville. Of Almohad origin built on the s. XIII and reformed between 1430-38 by the ducal initiative. It was the exit and main axis of communication between the Islamic-Christian town and the suburbs, constituting the most outstanding monumental gate and therefore, a symbol of Marchena. Above the arch is the coat of arms of the Colonna papal family, Martin V and the of the Dukes of Arcos (lords of the city)
4th Gate of Morón
The origin of its name is due to the fact that it was the gate that connected the town of Marchena with the town of Morón de a Frontera. Once again, it is an Almohad tower from the late s. XII. Over the centuries its use has been diverse, from housing, commercial premises to the current Lorenzo Coullaut Valera Museum.
5th Street of the Towers
Its name alludes to the fortifications on the southern side of the medina. The Muslim towers continue embedded in the hamlet, throughout the s. XVII-XVIII, they become buildings of different uses such as barns
6º Plaza de San Andrés
At the intersection of Calle Las Torres and Plaza de San Andrés, unique buildings converge, such as the Mercedarias convent, the San Jerónimo Hospital and College, and a little further away, the Compañía de Jesús convent.
7th Carreras Street
Said street was within the walls, communicated with the Palace, and was called "Carreras" because from it the entrances and exits of the hosts that carried out the raids and incursions against the Muslim kingdom of Granada were made.
8th Ducal Square
It is an emblematic place that has been used for various purposes, that is, different shows promoted by the Duchy and the Town Council to commemorate public events. It underwent several renovations throughout history and acquired its final configuration at the beginning of the s. XVIII. In it were the establishments of the Duchy such as public notary offices, the homes of servants or neighbors, etc. It should be noted that the religious staging of "El Mandato" is celebrated on Good Friday
9th Doge’s Palace
Originally it was an Islamic citadel from the s. XII, although its appearance changed due to the great transformations that have taken place since the s. XIII to the s. XVIII. For example, in the s. XIV, Christian period, the church of Santa María de la Mota is built and in the s. XVI the Palace acquires its maximum splendor following the Renaissance style prevailing at the time. During the s. XVII, it was transformed into a Palace-Convent thanks to the construction of two monasteries: that of the Immaculate Conception and that of the Capuchins. The decline of the Palace began with the economic crises of the Duchy at the end of the s. XVIII, to which is added the Napoleonic invasion of the s. XIX, which ends up leading to the disappearance of the great building
10th Round of the Alcazaba
The enclosure of the Alcazaba extends 2.3 hectares and is completely walled and endowed, on the opposite perimeter of the city, with a barbican that gave it better protection against any siege attempt.
