Málaga Cathedral

Málaga Cathedral, known locally as "La Manquita" due to its unfinished south tower, is a prominent Baroque landmark located in the heart of the city’s old town. Construction began in the 16th century and continued for over two centuries, resulting in a blend of Renaissance and Baroque architectural styles. The cathedral’s interior features a single nave with a high ceiling, creating a sense of grandeur and space.

Visitors can explore the interior through a cultural visit, which includes access to the main hall and the treasury. Admission for the interior is €6, while a combined ticket for the interior and the rooftop walk ("Cubiertas") costs €10. The rooftop walk offers panoramic views of the city and the Mediterranean Sea. Access to the rooftops requires a timed entry slot, which can be booked online or at the door. It is recommended to book in advance to avoid queues.

The cathedral is open nearly daily, with hours varying by day. On weekdays, it is open from 10:00 to 18:30, while on Saturdays, it closes at 18:00. On Sundays and public holidays, it is open from 14:00 to 18:00. Free entry is available during specific morning hours, and reduced rates apply to students, seniors, and Málaga residents. The visit is self-guided, allowing visitors to explore at their own pace. For those interested in a more structured experience, guided tours are available. The cathedral is a key cultural site, offering insight into the religious and artistic history of Málaga.
