One of the primary attractions of Malaga is the renowned Cathedral of Malaga. The structure located at the Plaza de la Cathedral is one of the most prominent buildings of the city. The construction of the building has been done with limestone and was started in 1528. The construction of the building is credited to Pedro Lopez and Diego Siloe who started the construction of the building on the place of a Malaga mosque. The construction of the cathedral has a bit of history behind it. The construction had to be stopped on numerous occasions before construction was finally halted in 1783 due to lack of money. As the southern tower of the church is still incomplete it is called ‘La Manquita’ which in Spanish means “the missing”. The tourists have generally been noted to have pointed out visible different styles of the cathedral. That is quite understandable given the fact that various architects have been working on the cathedral over the centuries.

The birth building has been converted as the Foundation Picasso building. The Picasso Museum is a larger building and more famous, situated at the Palacio de Buena vista. One needs to move a little bit further north to the Calle de la Victoria where one will find a beautiful church from the 15th century.
The harbor area of the city is a very likeable area. It has a lovely park along side which allows one the comfort of relaxing in peaceful surroundings.
