The Archaeological Collection of Marbella is a project funded and managed by the Town Hall that aims to save and promote the rich history of the City by restoring numerous historical remains scattered throughout the city.

For the purpose, the City has developed several lines of action which include surveys, collection, exhibition and various other promotional and cultural activities to encourage active participation of people along with over all dissemination of the archaeological richness of Marbella.

As informed by the project head Calixto Rodriguez, the municipality will first try to recover all valuable historic objects, whether lying somewhere or at private hands, emphasising on the facts of their importance to city’s culture and knowledge of its past.

Going by some initial project requirements, the City Council will facilitate the establishment of museums and library that will further help in storage, exhibition and dissemination of information.

One of the primary objectives of the project is the spreading of cultural values of the goods through solo exhibitions, archaeological workshops, and other education programmes for students. Also, there will be promotional tours to various historical sites throughout the city.

Moreover, the programme of action also includes recovery of the wealth of archaeological remains that are to be salvaged by archaeologists carrying out excavations in the district. And realizing the magnitude of the project, the Marbella Town Hall is also intended to work in collaboration with the University of Malaga.
