The Arabs organised a complex system of vigilance and communication, both on the coast and inland; after the reconquest, the Christians extended and perfected the system due to the danger of pirate attacks.
In the town of Marbella six of the eight watchtowers which made up the coastal vigilance service are still preserved: Torre Ladrones, Torreón del Lance de las Cañas, Torre del Río Real, Torre del Ancón, Torre del Duque, Torre de las Bóvedas. It is also preserved The Fortaleza de Cerro Torrón.
