Églises et cathédrales à Malaga

Historic Christian Sites

Malaga's religious heritage spans centuries, featuring diverse architectural styles from ornate Baroque to Mudejar. This collection includes the city's oldest church, the Church of Santiago, where Pablo Picasso was baptized, and the Basilica of Santa Maria de la Victoria, known for its macabre crypt. Smaller sites like the Capilla del Agua and the rural Ermita de Verdiales illustrate the range of devotional spaces, from hidden urban chapels to tranquil countryside retreats.

Basilica of Santa Maria de la Victoria

The richly ornate Baroque church is definitely worth the detour for its crypt that is quite macabre.

Capilla del Agua

The tiny Baroque chapel could be easily overlooked on the street. Don't do that and peek inside - the interior is beautifully decorated.
