Santa Iglesia Catedral Basílica De La Encarnación, affectionately known as "La Manquita," stands as a captivating landmark in Málaga. Its construction began in 1528, on the site of a former Aljama Mosque, and although it remains unfinished, this adds to its unique allure. This cathedral elegantly combines Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque styles, featuring intricate carvings, beautiful stained glass, and breathtaking high ceilings. A notable attraction is its acclaimed choir, acclaimed for its splendid artistry. Ascending to the rooftop reveals a panoramic view of the city, making it a favorite spot for visitors. While there is an entrance fee, the experience is invaluable, especially for those passionate about history and architecture. The building's historical depth and architectural beauty make it a must-see in Málaga and a memorable experience for visitors of all ages.
