Iglesia de Santiago, Gothic-Mudejar church in Málaga, Spain.
The Iglesia de Santiago is a church in Málaga that combines Gothic and Mudéjar features, distinguished by a square tower and three interior naves. The building displays a carefully crafted structure with several decorated chapels and religious sculptures inside.
After the Christian conquest of Málaga in 1487, this church was built as the city's first cathedral and served that role until a new place of worship was constructed. This transition marked an important moment in the religious reshaping of the city following the Reconquista.
The church houses valuable Baroque paintings by artists such as Alonso Cano and Niño de Guevara, visible throughout its various chapels. These religious artworks shape the interior and show the artistic importance this place held for the city.
The church is open daily, with varying opening times on different days of the week. It is recommended to check current access times before your visit to ensure a pleasant experience without surprises.
The artist Pablo Picasso was baptized in this church in 1881, linking this place to the birth of modern art history. This connection gives the church cultural weight that extends far beyond its religious function.
