The inside story
Construction of the Málaga Cathedral, also known as the Catedral de la Encarnación, began in the 16th century and was largely completed in the 18th century. However, it technically remains unfinished as its south tower is incomplete, giving it the nickname "La Manquita" (one-armed). The cathedral is built on the same ground that held Málaga's central mosque during its Muslim domination.
Although it is considered one of the jewels of the Renaissance in Spain, it also has elements of Gothic and Baroque style. From its exterior, the main facade stands out, in a predominantly Baroque style, and the two towers: the north, 285 feet tall, is the highest of all Andalusian cathedrals, and houses the 14 bells and the clock, while the south tower, as mentioned earlier, is still unfinished.
