Catedral de Málaga

9 Calle Molina Lario, Málaga, Andalucía

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.

Access & Transport

Address: Calle Molina Lario The closest bus stop is Paseo del Parque (Plaza Marina). The nearest car park is at the Plaza de la Marina and Alcazaba

Instructions & Recommendations

This is a place of worship so visitors should behave appropriately and dress conservatively. We suggest combining this with the Roman Theatre, the Alcazaba and one of the museums in the vicinity such as the Museo de Malaga or the Museo Picasso Málaga.

Meta review

This is one of the most famous attractions in the city and, barring those who have a conceptual issue with entrance fees applied for religious monuments, online reviews are consistent in stressing the magnificent architecture, impressive size and the quality of the religious art inside such as the stained-glass windows.

Environmental & Social

The ongoing environmental footprint is low. Helps maintain the city's cultural and architectural heritage

A church with arresting size and architecture as well as a long history linked to the development and fortunes of the city. For those keen to make the most of their visit, it is worth looking into using the services of a guide
