What to visit in Cártama?

Moorish Castle: The Moorish castle of Cártama, now in ruins but still imposing, was built to defend Málaga against invasions. Its Roman predecessor took advantage of the Guadalhorce River’s accessibility for strategic incursions. A testament to past eras, this castle still evokes the region’s historical and military significance.

Church of San Pedro Apóstol: The church, built on a former mosque after the conquest by the Catholic Monarchs in 1502, stands out in the city’s life. An exterior inscription tells its story. On the main festivity, April 22nd, it houses the image of the town’s patron saint and becomes a focal point for celebrations.

Hermitage of Our Lady of the Remedies: The Virgin of the Remedies, patron saint of Cártama, is venerated in the hermitage throughout the year, especially on April 22nd, when locals make an emotional pilgrimage to the Church of the Apostle Saint Paul, carrying the image of the Virgin to celebrate her main festivity.
