La Tahoncilla is the name given to a small tower that also formed part of the defensive belt of Comares Castle.
It is practically at the opposite end of the tower from La Tahona.

The parish church of Nuestra Señora de la Encarnación dates from 1505. The Mudejar coffered ceiling of the presbytery and the central nave are outstanding. The Sagrario chapel, built in 1721, has a Rococo dome of some merit. The tower, which dates from after the construction of the church, although it also dates from the 16th century, is in the Mudejar style.

The Church of Comares is the most outstanding monument in its history. As soon as the town was conquered, it formed part of the so-called "vicariate of Malaga".

Over the years, the church of Comares has undergone a number of repairs and extensions, especially at the end of the 17th century and during the 18th century, The sacristy was enlarged in 1721, when the Sagrario chapel was built.

The main doorway of the church faces south. Behind the chancel there is a courtyard that was once used as a cemetery. The church has three naves, seven pointed arches with archivolt chamfers and four pillars with a raised ridge and ordinary Nasrid flooring. The roof is of great merit. It consists of a very well-preserved trough with rich geometric fretwork and a central loop motif with muqarnas. It has five paired braces, the ends of which are set into the masonry, and Renaissance-style corbels. According to the documentation, this craftwork was made in the 16th century and the wood was brought from Cartagena.

The main chapel is square, with a hipped roof with quadrants and a pinnacle. The beams of the side naves rest on wooden corbels. Both the central nave and the chancel are Mudejar in style. The main altarpiece was once of great merit, but it was destroyed in 1931. It was completely rebuilt in 1948. The side chapel of the tabernacle consists of a single spherical dome, overloaded with ornaments. Externally it forms an octagonal tower. It is believed that the chapel and the tabernacle tower were built by a sailor, as a result of a promise he made when he was in danger of shipwreck.

All that remains of the Castillo Baluarte La Tahoma is the remains of a wall, from an uncertain period. What is known is that it was transformed into a large fortress during the Muslim occupation, built on the site now occupied by the cemetery.

The castle, of Arab origin, was built on the site of an ancient Roman fortress. The remains of the fortress are popularly known as "La Tahona", and from the top you can contemplate a wonderful general view of the village, which seems to be suspended on a rock, as well as the impressive massif of Sierra Tejeda to the north and the sea to the south. In fact, Comares is called the Balcony of the Axarquia in Malaga.

Remains of a city between the 9th and 10th centuries. Various pieces of pottery, amphorae, mosaics and even skeletons have been found. The remains of some of the houses can still be seen, as well as the famous cistern.

Of Arab origin, possibly from the 14th century, it was declared a National Historic-Artistic Monument in 1931. It is located in an uninhabited area known as the Meseta de Mazmúllar. This cistern is rectangular in shape and is divided into nine compartments by four cruciform basins and a horseshoe-shaped cone that support elongated groined vaults.
