Iglesia de Saint John the Baptist, Gothic church in central Málaga, Spain
The Iglesia de San Juan Bautista exhibits Gothic architecture with a rectangular tower porch topped by an elliptical dome at its entrance.
Established in 1487 after the Moorish defeat, the church underwent major modifications including the completion of its tower in 1543 and repairs following the 1680 earthquake.
The church houses two fraternities that participate in Holy Week processions, with multiple chapels dedicated to their religious activities and ceremonies.
The interior space features white walls, carved altarpieces, and multiple chapels, making it suitable for both religious services and cultural visits.
The building contains a notable 17th-century statue of San Juan created by Francisco Ortiz and displays exterior murals from the 18th century.

Between the Mediterranean and the Andalusian hills, Malaga blends southern warmth with a thousand-year history. Birthplace of Picasso, it combines Moorish fortresses, Renaissance churches, orange-scented alleys, and avant-garde museums. The Alcazaba overlooks the city from its Moorish walls, the Roman theater recalls its origins, and the Cathedral of the Incarnation connects the centuries. Along the port, the Pompidou Center, contemporary galleries, and subtropical gardens revitalize Andalusian modernity. The stroll is slow, between white light and warm shadows, from the Atarazanas market to the views of Gibralfaro. Malaga is no longer just a seaside stopover: it is a city to explore, to see, and to feel.
