Mazarron is situated in the south west of Murcia and has been home to Arabs, Phoenicians and Romans, all of whom have succumbed, as with owners of property for sale Murcia, to the charms and influences of the bay and surrounding area.

Mazarron’s coastal area is bathed by the Mediterranean Sea and is known to owners of property for sale Murcia for its mining past and seamen’s traditions. It was in an important strategic position, able to defend a large land area, with an important castle and defence towers. The town’s geographic position led to the building of three towers, all of which were built in Islamic times. Owners of property for sale Murcia know these towers as the ‘Caballos’ or horses tower; ‘Cumber’ or summit tower and the ‘Molinete’ or windmill tower.

Mazarron is also well known to owners of property for sale Murcia for its architectural, archaeological and monumental heritage. There are historical references to the current part of Mazarron, from the Paleolithic era (95,000 and 32,000 years ago.)  Many owners of property for sale Murcia know that in the Phoenician period the area’s magnificent natural geographic conditions were utilized as a port and harbour, with the arrival of Roman colonies that were attracted by the rich mining and of course with its close proximity to Carthago Nova.

The area’s sailing activity continued throughout the Roman period, transporting quantities of metal from the different mining reserves that could be found in the area. It is also thought by many owners of property for sale Murcia that this area was one of the first to be mined and the Arabic al Mezer (ochre or red) refer to the colours, which can be related to in the landscape.
