Church of Santa Ana

It is a small chapel not used for religious worship. Inside there is a mosaic with the image of Christ, in small proportions, which is why it is known as the Santo Chiquito (Little Saint).

Located in the upper part of the village, at the confluence of the main streets of the town. In the centre is the monument to the land worker popularly known as "Manolo".

Along a route through the village there are a series of ceramic mosaics, twelve ceramic murals embedded in the façades, installed in strategic places in the town centre, reviving the historical memory of Benamocarra.

They tell us about the history, culture, customs, games and legends. There is one that refers to the geographical location of the village, another gives a brief historical review of the town, another that tells of the expulsion of the Moors, or the agricultural skills of its inhabitants.

The village pays homage to Mr. Eduardo Ocón, one of the most important musicians in Malaga and Spain, with a monolith in his memory.

Born in Benamocarra on 12 January 1833, Ocón was a composer and organist. At the age of 18 he became the second organist at Malaga Cathedral. He studied in Paris and, after his return to Malaga, he took charge of the Conservatory of Music and regained his position at the Cathedral, where he promoted the restoration of the organ of Julián de la Orden. His compositions include seven masses, the Miserere, the Rapsodia Andaluza and the Cantos Españoles.

In 2026 it will be 100 years since his death.

The source of the fountain is a spring that flowed behind a Moorish arch, which today is covered and whitewashed. The walled structure corresponds to a bath where all good Muslims performed the purification ritual before prayer.

The construction elements include solid bricks, lime concrete and sand. The fountain is made up of three spouts, which fall into basins. It was used as a water supply for the local residents, a natural washing place and a watering place for horses.

The mill dates from the end of the 18th century and was in operation until March 1964. The courtyard has a cobbled floor, millstones, pillars and a mezzanine with black beams from the milling process; the farmyard with the olive stands, the pens for the livestock and the cellars. In some of the rooms, furniture and household furnishings have been preserved, and in the kitchens, the brick sinks, bowls and basins have been preserved.

The house is a veritable museum which is open to the public on special days.
