The Cathedral of Málaga is a Renaissance church in the
city of Málaga in Andalusia in southern Spain. It is located within the limits
defined by a now missing portion of the medieval Moorish walls, the remains of
which surround the nearby Alcazaba and the Castle of Gibralfaro. It was
constructed between 1528 and 1782. Its interior is also in Renaissance style.
The façade, unlike the rest of the building, is in
Baroque style and is divided into two levels; on the lower level are three
arches, inside of which are portals separated by marble columns. Above the
doors are medallions carved in stone; those of the lateral doors represent the
patron saints of Málaga, Saint Cyriacus and Saint Paula, while that over the
centre represents the Annunciation.
