It's always closed. The workers told me that visits must be organised with the family living there but there's no information

At the end of the 13th century, the Benimerine incursions, coming precisely from Ronda through the "Morón road", justified creating the Marchenilla fortification as a small walled enclosure reminiscent of the nearby castle of Alcalá de Guadaíra During the Late Middle Ages it was integrated into the lordship of Gandul and Marchenilla, in favor of Arnao de Solier, and in the 14th century it passed into the hands of the Velasco family, who expanded the castle. In the 17th century the chapel of San Isidro Labrador was built and in the 17th century a farmhouse patio was created to the east. In the castle there is a chapel dedicated to San Isidro Labrador, presided over by a valuable painting of the Virgin of Guadalupe. It is currently privately owned and its exterior appearance has been altered due to the use of the walled area (along with exterior walls) for agricultural activities.

A peculiar place with a lot of history and a very kind gentleman who doesn't mind giving of his time to explain the history of the place.

A pity they don't allow dogs. We haven't been able to get in.

Very grateful for the attention and affection with which the owner received us. Enjoy the explanations and live what counts. It would be necessary to help this type of people who offer to visit the heritage without receiving anything in return. Thank you very much.
