the cathedral of Malaga. One of the best temples of the Andalusian Renaissance.

The construction of the building began by order of the Catholic Monarchs. It is popularly known as La Manquita. The Encarnación Cathedral is one of the most important monuments of the city. The south tower and main facade are unfinished. Located in the historic center of the city, this construction stands on the remains of an aljama mosque. Construction, in Gothic style, began in the first half of the 16th century by order of the Catholic Monarchs, and continued in the 17th and 18th centuries. It has gardens and a magnificent courtyard. The interior of the cathedral features Renaissance and Baroque influences. The choir stalls (17th century) in the central nave and the work of the sculptor Pedro de Mena stand out. The chapels are also interesting, such as that of the Encarnación, which gives its name to the cathedral.
