Attractions

The history of Malaga reflected its architectural appearance. Despite the age of the city, which has experienced different periods of art in Europe, you will not find Baroque palaces and Gothic churches and all the things that attract us to other cultural centers in Europe. Unlikely, malaga’s historical buildings didn’t stay in the city for long, almost all o9f them were turned down and their place was taken by new, modern constructions. Still, some of the historical monuments have survived to the present day and are ready to tell hundreds of stories they have seen during the different periods.

The most unusual architectural structure in Europe is truly a cathedral in Malaga (La Catedral de la Encarnación).
