One of the most famous remaining landmarks in the Torremolinos area is the Pimentel Tower (Torre de Pimentel), after which Torremolinos was actually named many years ago. Other landmarks of interest here include the San Miguel Hermitage and the striking Casa de los Navajas (House of Navajas), while the more modern Torremolinos Town Hall (Ayuntamiento) also deserves a mention.
