Architectural Landmarks

Malaga’s architectural landscape spans centuries, from the 11th-century Moorish citadel of the Alcazaba to the Renaissance-style Cathedral of Málaga, known for its unfinished tower and Baroque elements. The Gibralfaro Castle offers historic fortifications and coastal views, while the Picasso Museum is housed within the 16th-century Buenavista Palace. For a unique 20th-century example, the Salamanca Market showcases Neo-Arabic design with its distinctive horseshoe arches. Together, these landmarks illustrate the city’s evolution from an Islamic stronghold to a modern Mediterranean hub.
