A majestic Renaissance and Baroque cathedral in Málaga's historic center, built over more than 250 years on the foundation of an Almohad mosque. Left with an unfinished south tower due to depleted funds, it is affectionately known as 'La Manquita' ('The One-Armed Lady'). Highlights include 40-meter-high vaulted ceilings, Pedro de Mena's choir stalls, and panoramic rooftop walks.
Highlights
- Unfinished south tower giving the cathedral its 'La Manquita' moniker
- Masterful 17th-century carved mahogany choir stalls by Pedro de Mena
- Panoramic rooftop walkway overlooking the city and the Mediterranean
