Basílica Vega del Mar

Fourth-century paleochristian ruins in a coastal pine grove

Address Vega del Mar, San Pedro de Alcántara

A small paleochristian basilica on the coast at San Pedro de Alcántara, a few kilometres west of Marbella. Built in the 4th century and one of the oldest Christian structures in Spain, it sits in a pine grove near the beach with surviving walls, tombs and a baptismal font — modest but genuinely ancient.
