Description
The Cathedral of Málaga was built between 1528 and 1782 in a mix of Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque styles. The north tower is 84m high, but the south tower is unfinished as financing was always a challenge (tax on ships calling in the city was used for several decades). Highlights include the tower, the choir stalls by Pedro de Mena and several of the chapels such as the Chapel of the Incarnation with its neoclassic altarpiece.
