Stupa of Enlightenment

The Stupa of Enlightenment is Europe’s largest Buddhist stupa, a white-gold landmark on the hillside above Benalmádena Pueblo, ringed by peaceful gardens.

Good to know

  • Open daily, free to wander
  • A quiet counterpoint to the coast’s bustle
  • Beautiful light at sunset

Walk here from the pueblo and finish at the Colomares monument nearby.

From the stupa it is a short downhill walk to the dreamlike Castillo de Colomares monument. Castillo de Colomares.
