Archaeological excavations that were made in the region have linked the civilization at Marbella back to the Neolithic and Paleolithic era. The Romans called Marbella as Salduba and it was a famous city even in those times.

Muslims also conquered Marbella and during the Muslim Dominion in Spain a castle was built here which was in the form of a fortress and had surrounding strong walls.
