There are tours of the Cathedral everyday. For more information about the catedral, check my general tips with some histories and tips

The baroque façade of the Plaza del Obispo is incredible (Alonso Cano did a good job lol, as in Granada), also its choir stalls of Pedro de Mena deserve the visit.

You can also visit the Cathedral Museum that is inside

	Cathedral: Catedral

View from Santa María

The Cathedral (16th-18th centuries) is also known as “la Manquita” because of its unfinished right tower. This temple, beautifully executed in the Renaissance style, preserves an interesting series of chapels which contain fine examples of Andalusian images.

	Cathedral: Cathedral: 'La Manquita' Tip Rating:

Another significant highlight of Málaga is her one-armed cathedral. This is namely what ´La Manquita´ means: the one-armed (lady). The Spanish call her this way because she has only one tower. The other one has never been finished, due to a lack of money.
The cathedral was built between 1528 and 1782 on the site of a former mosque (from the Moor-times)
The interior has influences of Renaissance, Baroque and neoclassical styles, because of all the time it took to build it. Among the highlights are the chapels, Capilla Mayor and Capilla del Sagrado Corazón, and the beautiful mahogany and cedarwood choir stalls.

Malaga Cathedral

The Malaga Cathedral is a huge church with only one bell tower. This makes it a very unique sight in the heart of the city!

Malaga Cathedral

by Beach_dog

Malaga´s cathedral was built between 1528 and 1782 on or near the site of a former mosque. While original plans had allowed for two towers, lack of funds resulted in the completion of only one, giving rise to the name by which the cathedral is affectionately referred to, La Manquita, loosely interpreted as 'one armed woman'.

The Cathedral in Malaga

by Malecka

Well, visit the Plaza de la Marina. It is also in the central part of Málaga, and from there take calle Molina Lario that takes you to the Cathedral and the Museum. Placed centrally, between these two great monuments is Plaza del Obispo: my suggestion, go to one of the restaurants there, order… anything, and just enjoy the sight in front of you. Breath-takingly beautiful.

Walk through the Cathedral and next door the Popes House. One of the Popes actually lived here in 6 or 700 AD. Remarkable architecture, sculpture and paintings.
