There is a small archaeological museum inside the "House of Culture". It's quite interesting, because they show the way the very first inhabitants in the area, the Phoenicians, used to live, how they worked, how they farmed, and even there are some stones and skulls of them.

If you are an avid walker or hiker, then Frigiliana is a place that you will love.

Many streets and walkways can ONLY be accessed on foot but the going is rather heavy as the gradients are severe.

The views and scenery are well worth the effort of the hike, however. There are many local shops selling local 'Frigiliana wine' and also designer clothing etc.

There are excellent places to eat lunch or just take a refreshing drink while savouring the views.

Warning: In the unlikely event that it rains, the cobbled streets can get slippery and care should be taken especially on gradients.

The Old Quarter in Frigiliana, and within this the old Mudejar neighborhood is the main showcase for the popular Arab architectural heritage in Malaga. Frigiliana has been awarded the largest number of prizes for its well-preserved heritage in the province. The most stricking characteristic of the Old Quarter, and Frigiliana in general, is the cleanliness and the withwashed walls and the flowers.
