Antiguo Consulado del Mar

The Antiguo Consulado del Mar is a neoclassical building in central Málaga that once belonged to the Jesuit College of San Sebastián complex. The facade displays symmetrical proportions with columns and carefully crafted window frames typical of 18th-century formal architecture.

The building was designed in 1785 by architect Martín de Aldehuela, when Málaga's port played an important role in Spanish commerce. Its construction coincided with a period when maritime trade and related administrative structures were expanding.

The building reflects the importance of maritime trade that shaped Málaga in the 18th century. Visitors can still see the elegant rooms that once hosted business and negotiations between merchants and shipping officials.

The building is located in Málaga's historic center and is easily reached on foot. Visitors should note that interior spaces are not always open to the public, so it is useful to check current access conditions beforehand.

The site was once a central meeting point where merchants and shipping officials settled trade disputes and regulated port activities. This practical function made the building a key location for the city's economic life.
