Fountain of Los Caños

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 building is located in the Plaza Eduardo Ocón and was built at the end of the 16th century. Its interior consists of three naves with pointed arches and pillars, and is notable for the Mudejar-style framework on the ceiling of the main nave. The exterior tower, with a rectangular base, follows the Mudejar model, but both the elevation and the tower were remodelled in 1949, losing part of their original appearance.

In the surrounding area are the Plaza de El Calvario and the Plaza de la Constitución, as well as ancient archways and inner courtyards connected by arches, which mark the separation between the old and the new town.

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.
