There is lovely little park outside Cathedral with water canal. Birds flying around and beautiful orange trees. It was not easy to get to Cathedral 2x it was closed even it tried in opening times (by their website) but my third attempt was successful. I bought tickets at entrance and waited just couple of minutes. Insite it was really nice and peaceful. There is little museum as well do not miss it!

The Cathedral of Málaga is a beautiful place to visit, especially if you enjoy architecture. Built in a mix of Renaissance and Baroque styles, it has impressive columns, peaceful chapels, and stunning details that make the interior really special. Entrance to the inside of the church is free from Monday to Saturday between 8:30 and 9:00. I went during this time and there were very few people, which made the experience calm and pleasant. It’s a lovely stop if you’re exploring the historic center. Even if you don’t spend long inside, the architecture and atmosphere make it worth seeing.

We were in Malaga for the day while on a cruise with NCL. We walked all around the old city center and eventually passed by the Basilica. We did not have time to enter so I am only commenting on the beautiful outside structure. It is a magnificent example of baroque style. Locally known as The one armed lady! Construction took from 16th to 18th centuries.

A monumental building with some lovely side chapels will take some time to look around. The entry cost is €9 with lots to see. Do not miss the Incarnation Chapel behind the main alter, it is lovely. The choir has some stunning wood carvings. Give yourself lots of time as there is so much to see. The Catholic Monarchs ordered the construction of the building. It is popularly known as La Manquita. The cathedral of the Encarnación is one of the town's most important monuments. The south tower and the main façade are unfinished. It is situated in the historic centre of the town. The building sits where a mosque-Moorish quarter once existed. Work began in the first half of the 16th century, in the Gothic style, ordered by the Catholic Monarchs, and continued in the 17th and 18th centuries. It has its own gardens and a magnificent courtyard. The interior of the cathedral has Renaissance and Baroque influences. Most noteworthy are the choir stalls (17th century) in the central nave and, especially, the sculptural works of Pedro de Mena. The chapels are also very interesting, such as that of the Encarnación, which gives the cathedral its name.

This is such a beautiful catherdral. Unfortunately there was a service happening so visiting the interior was not possible. But the exterior is wonderful. It is called the one-armed lady as only one spire was built and the money ran out for the construction of the second. Another interesting fact is that it was a mosque and rather than demolishing this to build the Catholic Church it was incorporated. The ex try error carvings are lovely and the surrounding area very picturesque. It is well worth the visit to the old town and the cathedral
