The Old Kingdom of Granada

Itineraries

  • ITINERARY 1: From Malaga to Ronda

Itinerary 1: From Malaga to Ronda

The land of today's province of Malaga, save for the area of Antequera, was conquered by Ferdinand and Isabella at the end of the 15th century, and the first parishes in the see of Malaga were not created until 1505. Here the influence is of the valley of the Guadalquivir - ribbed apses - whereas in the remaining lands of the Kingdom of Granada, rib vaulting predominates. In Malaga, Mudejar is associated with Gothic in the church of Santiago, and with the Renaissance in the convent of La Victoria, La Trinidad barracks, and the palace of Los Condes de Buenavista. The museum of Bellas Artes has remains of the Hospital of Santo Tomas.
