The Alcazaba was begun in the 8th century when Malaga was the main port of the Moorish kingdom. What remains today was built in the 11th century. Ferdinand and Isabella lived here after conquering Malaga in 1487.

Malaga's cathedral was built between 1528 and 1783. It was left unfinished because they ran out of money. It is nicknamed "La Manquita," The One-Armed Lady, because it is missing one of its two towers.
