Monte Coronado, Málaga, Limestone summit in northern Málaga, Spain

Monte Coronado rises 220 meters above sea level, featuring a distinctive crescent-shaped rock plateau at its southeastern slope.

The mountain served as a quarry for the construction of Málaga Cathedral, with its limestone blocks extracted throughout centuries of development.

Archaeological remains from Neolithic and Chalcolithic periods indicate early human settlements on the southeastern terraces of Monte Coronado.

Clear summer skies provide excellent visibility from the summit, allowing visitors to view the entire Bay of Málaga and surrounding landscapes.

The mountain's name originates from its crown-like appearance, which later transformed into a crescent shape due to extensive limestone extraction.
