Alcazaba de Málaga
Málaga's stunning 11th-century Moorish palace-fortress — one of the best-preserved in Spain, set into the hillside above the city centre with beautiful gardens and panoramic views.
Castillo de Gibralfaro
A 14th-century Moorish castle perched high above Málaga — connected to the Alcazaba below, with the best panoramic views in the city and a small but excellent military museum.
Málaga Cathedral
Málaga's magnificent Renaissance cathedral — nicknamed "La Manquita" (the one-armed lady) because its south tower was never completed. A stunning interior of soaring vaulted ceilings, baroque choir stalls, and Pedro de Mena sculptures.
Teatro Romano
A remarkably well-preserved 1st-century BC Roman theatre at the foot of the Alcazaba — free to visit, with an excellent interpretation centre explaining Málaga's 2,000-year history.
