About The Cathedral of Málaga

The Great Mosque of the city was replaced by the Cathedral of Málaga, which dates to the 15th century and is regarded as a masterpiece of the Spanish Renaissance. Baroque components that were introduced to the architecture in the 17th and 18th centuries are also present. The beautifully proportioned room and sense of space impresses visitors. Alonso Cano's picture of the Virgin with Saints is displayed in the cathedral's Capilla del Rosario, which is the third chapel in the south aisle.

Pedro de Mena's kneeling portraits of the Catholic monarchs may be found on the left wall and in the Capilla de los Reyes (the first choir chapel on the right). The Virgin figurine that Ferdinand and Isabella took on their military adventures is likewise housed in this church.

The Capilla Mayor's contemporary altar displays Passion imagery from 1580. The Choir stands out in particular because of its finely carved 17th-century stalls. Pedro de Mena and José Micael Alfaro created the forty carved wooden figurines of the saints.
