Famed for its proximity to a sizable number of beehives, Colmenar, named appropriately so, is a suburban city in Malaga, Spain. The history of Colmenar can be divided into the Roman and Arab occupations, the remains of which are both visible in the architecture of the town.
The Church of Assumption (built in the 17th century), perched atop the hill upon which the town is situated, is the highest point – interestingly the width of the streets is an indication of how close you are getting to the City Hall, and the town center, for they narrow down as altitude rises. The City Hall is the nucleus of Colmenar, built as a typical village house and home to various different bureaus and municipalities.
