Malaga Cathedral

(Málaga)

It is called the Cathedral of the Incarnation, built in 1528, in the gothic style above a former Muslim mosque. Contains almost all the architectural styles from the 16th to the 18th century since a lot of different architects participated in it's construction. Still, it maintains an impressive uniformity taking under consideration that it wasn't completely finished one of the towers was never completed, for this reason and in an affectionate way, people in Malaga call their Cathedral "The One-armed ".

The interior has influences of the Renaissance and baroque styles. The notable 17th century choir stalls of mahogany and cedar woodwere designed by Luis Ortiz. After his death the 40 finely carved statues of the saints behind each stall were completed by Pedro de Mena, one of Spain's most celebrated wood-carvers of the time, who spent some years in Malaga. Some of the chapels leading off the aisles also contain works by Pedro de Mena and his tutor, Alonso Caro.

Adjoining the cathedral is the Iglesia del Sagrano. Founded in the 15th century on the site of a mosque, the church has an unusual rectangular shape, its Isabelline-Gothic portal is the only remaining part of the original structure which was rebuilt in 1714. The interior is richly decorated and its main altar features a magnificent 16th century retable.
