The facade contains a coat of arms of the Catholic Monarchs alongside a commemorative inscription in Latin.
The building is adjacent to the Casa del Corregidor, a 16th-century structure with a stone facade and Mudejar-style wooden balconies.
The interior Salón de Plenos features historical decorations and serves as the primary meeting space for the municipal government.
Marbella Town Hall, known as the Ayuntamiento de Marbella, serves as the administrative center for the municipality and is located within the historic Plaza de los Naranjos. The building occupies a 16th-century structure commissioned by the Catholic Monarchs following the Christian conquest of the town. Its facade features a notable stone plaque commemorating the date of the town's conquest in 1485. The building houses several historically significant rooms, including the Salón de Plenos. The architecture reflects the traditional Andalusian style of the period, characterized by its integration into the surrounding old town layout. As a functional municipal office, it remains the hub for local governance and civic administration. The structure is situated adjacent to the ancient wall remnants of the former Moorish castle.
