The best things to do in Malaga

The cathedral’s construction began in the 16th century, on the site of Malaga’s main mosque. However, one of the towers was never completed, resulting in its rather lop-sided appearance. Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque elements reflect the long period of construction. Inside, highlights include the carved choir stalls by Pedro de Mena and two 18th-century organs.

Insider’s tip: The cathedral roof is being restored and is closed to visits until 2027, but you can get a good view from the rooftop bar of the AC Palacio hotel.
