Malaga Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of the Incarnation, is a magnificent Renaissance cathedral located in the heart of Malaga, Spain. The cathedral was constructed on the site of a former mosque following the Reconquista, the Christian reconquest of the Iberian Peninsula from the Moors.
The cathedral was designed by Diego de Siloe in the 16th century and its construction was carried out in different stages, resulting in a unique blend of Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque architectural styles. One of the most notable features of the cathedral is its unfinished southern tower, which has earned it the nickname "La Manquita" (the one-armed lady).
The interior of the cathedral is equally impressive, featuring a series of chapels adorned with ornate decorations, frescoes, and intricate carvings. The most famous work of art in the cathedral is the 18th-century choir stalls, which are considered some of the finest in Spain.
The cathedral also houses a museum where visitors can view an impressive collection of religious art, including works by notable artists such as Pedro de Mena and Alonso Cano.
