Iglesia de San Lázaro, Málaga, Catholic church in La Victoria district, Málaga, Spain.

The San Lázaro Church features a rectangular nave with a raised presbytery and wooden frameworks that demonstrate Mudéjar construction techniques.

The Catholic Monarchs established this building in 1491 after the reconquest of Málaga as a chapel for the San Lázaro Hospital, which treated leprosy patients.

The church crypt contains paintings by Pedro de Hermosilla depicting life and death concepts, designed to remind visitors about human mortality.

The temple maintains regular mass schedules throughout the year, while visits to the historical crypt require prior arrangement with the parish priest.

The underground crypt spans two levels and contains human remains in niches, with 18th-century grisaille paintings adorning its vaults.
