At the beginning of the sixteenth century, the residence or house of the corregidor was located in the Alcázar neighborhood of Cuenca (Spain), in a house that also served as a prison. Soon, however, this place would be abandoned, because, around 1541, the lords of the Council agreed to build a new prison, as they considered that it was very necessary for the good government of the city. The building was erected on Calle de la Correría.

Torre Ladrones is a tower on the Puerto de Cabopino beach in Marbella, Spain. It is part of the coastal fortification line along the Andalusian Mediterranean coast. Both the architecture and the materials used, indicate that Torre Ladrones was built during the period of Arab domination in the Spanish peninsula. It is 15 meters high, a figure that makes it the tallest watchtower of the Malaga coast. The interior is divided into three rooms and a housetop. At that time, its role was clearly defensive: to warn of potential enemies and to organize a coordinated defense in case the enemy attacked.

Villa romana de Río Verde is a Roman villa on the coast of Marbella, Spain, at the mouth of the Río Verde river. It represents the pars urbana of an affluent coastal villa, where its pars rustica would have been dedicated to marine exploitation and the salting of fish —a profitable activity pursued by many coastal settlements in the Baetic region, especially during the Roman era. This is evident in some of the decorative elements of the culinary mosaic that adorns the residential area of the house.
