Cathedral
Pl. del Obispo E - 29015 Málaga
Its construction stretched from the 16C to the 18C and the mixture of styles is very apparent, with a predominance of the Renaissance style. The lower parts are Gothic, while the coverings and facades are Baroque. Outside, you will see an unfinished tower the origin of the popular nickname of «The One-armed» and three very decorative doors in different colours of marble with on the middle door, the relief painting of the Incarnation, the name of the cathedral
Inside, you will be struck by the great size of this hall-church of three spaces, side chapels and ambulatory. To ensure the support of the high nave the architect used an original method, the superimposition of the supports; on the pillars of fasciculated columns with Corinthian capitals, he placed entablatures holding another level of pillars. The bays are covered with attractive highly decorated domes on pendentives, The superb stalls 17C of the coro were partly created by Pedro de Mena. Notice also the two magnificent Baroque organs. (18C) and the marble pulpits(18C) decorated with ecclesiastical shields. The side chapels contain interesting works : a attractive Weeping Mother by Pedro de Mena, a Christ on the cross by Alonso de Mena, a large Virgin of the Rosary by Alonso Cano. Around the ambulatory, do not miss the chapel of Notre-Dame-des-Rois and its exquisite Virgin and child, the chapel of Ste-Barbe and its attractive Gothic retable, and the chapel of the Incarnation wholly made of marble with four monumental agate columns.
