Must-sees Malaga

Alcazaba

Around the eleventh century this fortress, with the Arabic name Alcazaba, was built in a strategic location in Málaga. Because it is on Gibralfaro hill, it stands out above the rest of the village and you have a clear view of the harbor. The Alcazaba fortress was mainly built to guard the palace. Castillo de Gibralfao, which can be reached through the "Puerta de los Cuartos de Grananda" gate, is located within the defensive walls of Alcazaba. Both Alcazaba and Gibralfao Castle can be visited daily.

Museo Picasso

As the birthplace of Pablo Picasso, a museum about this master of painting in Málaga could not have been missed. The Museo Picasso Málaga on Calle San Agustin was opened in 2003 by King Juan Carlos I and his wife Queen Sofia. It is located in the Buenavista Palace which was built in the sixteenth century. Among the works are masterpieces such as "Madre y niño and Mosquetero con espada". Many of his artworks have been donated by the family.

Cathedral of Málaga

The beautiful and graceful cathedral of Málaga was built in the sixteenth, seventeenth and partly in the eighteenth century. The duration of the construction was mainly due to lack of money. Construction was regularly stopped because there were no financial resources. Because of this, even a part has never been finished, for which it eventually received the nickname of "La Manquita Catedral de Málaga". Clear Baroque and Renaissance features can be seen in the structure.
