The church of Torre del Mar, Parroquia de San Andrés, is a modern building with a spacious and sober interior. Behind the altar is a large crucifix and to the left an image of the Virgen del Carmen, patron saint of fishermen. It is located in the center of the town just in front of the Paseo de Larios, on Avda. Andalucía
The Larios house dates from 1888 and is also part of the Sugar Mill complex. Its function was to house the staff offices and the factory engineer's house there. In the 70s and 80s the building was used by the Cooperativa de la Azucarera. This simple and functional regionalist style building with Mudejar connotations, is characteristic of the late s. XIX.
Torre del Mar's mission was to monitor the coast to spot possible enemy ships during the Middle Ages, both from adversary nations of Spain, and from pirates that ravaged the Andalusian Mediterranean coast. Another responsibility was to protect the boats that anchored in the natural port. Therefore, the history of the town is closely linked to the castle.
The fortress corresponds to the castle-fortress concept. It was the original nucleus of Torre del Mar, although only the eastern tower and remains of the central trapezoidal bulwark remain of the first architectural complex. In the 1730s a major reform was made that gave it the current look, one that originally had much smaller dimensions. During the expansion and renovation a second composite front was added and two turrets were built at the ends.
The castle was made up of military buildings and warehouses, since another of its functions was to protect the products destined for export, among them, wines, raisins and citrus fruits that are so well produced in Andalusia. Of the things to see in Torre del Mar, the castle is one of the most iconic.
