Plaza de la Constitución, pedestrian square in Málaga, Spain

Plaza de la Constitución is a central square in Málaga with white buildings surrounding marble paving that creates an open, bright feel. A marble fountain sits at the center, marking a focal point for the space.

The square took its current name in 1812 to honor the Spanish Constitution, after being known by earlier names like Plaza of Four Streets. This rename reflected broader changes shaping Málaga's modern era.

The square hosts a large viewing stand for Holy Week processions, casetas during the August Feria de Málaga, and the city's New Year's Eve celebration with the twelve grapes. Its name has shifted with each political era: de la Libertad, de la República Federal, and de José Antonio Primo de Rivera, before returning to Plaza de la Constitución.

The square sits directly beside Calle Larios shopping street and is easily reached from anywhere in the city center. Restaurants, cafes, and shops surround it, making it simple to find refreshment or take a break.

The Fuente de Génova, a 16th-century marble fountain, was moved to the Parque de Málaga and returned to the square in 2002 when Calle Marqués de Larios was pedestrianised. In 2004, stainless steel plates showing newspaper front pages from after the 1978 Constitution was approved were set into the pavement.
