The majestic Cathedral was erected during the first half of the sixteenth century although work on it continued until the eighteenth century and, even at that, the walls remained unfinished. That is why, since it is lacking one of its towers, it is popularly known as “La Manquita” (the One-Armed One). This temple was built over the former congregational mosque and combines several architectural styles, but Renaissance and Baroque features predominate. Some of the most renowned master builders of past centuries worked on it, including among others Diego de Siloé and Diego de Vergara, a student of Andrés de Vandelvira. The most significant work of art contained in the temple is the choir room, which with its 42 figures by Pedro de Mena, Ortiz de Vargas and Giuseppe Micael Alfaro is considered one of the most beautiful in Spain. The two organs built in the eighteenth century are also noteworthy. They are perfectly preserved and have a total of more than 4,000 pipes. The Virgin of the Rosary, a canvas of large dimensions and very high artistic quality by Alonso Cano, stands out among the large collection of paintings.
The Cathedral of Malaga is located in the historic heart of the capital, which is accessed from the shore by the A-7 and inland from the A-45.
