The majestic Cathedral of Malaga towers over the city's historical center, standing in place of the previous main mosque of Malaga. Officially known as the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Incarnation, its construction began in the 15th century and was largely completed by the 18th. Interestingly, despite being the city's principal religious structure, its construction was never fully finalized. A stark example of this is the incomplete second tower. Nevertheless, even in its incomplete state, the Cathedral remains a remarkable example of Spanish Renaissance architecture.
The Cathedral's interior is equally awe-inspiring. It's exceptionally spacious and beautifully adorned with intricate paintings and sculptures. A standout feature of the interior is the choir stalls, masterfully crafted in the 17th century by esteemed sculptors, including the renowned Pedro de Mena. The Cathedral also boasts a charming courtyard and an enchanting garden. For those seeking a panoramic view of Malaga and its bustling harbor, a climb of 200 steps up the North Tower offers an exceptional vantage point from the rooftop.
