Venues
- Málaga Cathedral
Construction of the Málaga Cathedral, also known as the Catedral de la Encarnación, began in the 16th century, and was largely completed in the 18th century. However, it technically remains unfinished as its south tower is incomplete, giving it the nickname "La Manquita" (one-armed). The cathedral is built on the same ground that held Málaga's central mosque during its Muslim domination.
- Alcazaba of Málaga
The Alcazaba of Málaga is one of Spain’s most impressive and important remains of Muslim architecture and design that can be visited today. While there are often exhibitions inside, the exterior of the palace with its gardens is worth a visit in and of itself.
- Roman Theatre of Malaga
Located at the foot of the Alcazaba fortress, the Roman Theatre of Malaga is one of the oldest monuments of the city, built early in the 1st century BC by the emperor Caesar Augustus. During centuries this historical place remained hidden under the streets and houses to be rediscovered in 1951.
