Malaga is of course, a truly monumental city. Here’s more information on the main Monuments and tourist area to visit.

ENGLISH CEMETERY:
This was built to bury the Protestants who pass away in Malaga, and was the first in Spain. The remains of the poet Jorge Guillén can be found here.

SAN AGUSTIN CONVENT:
Originally from the sixteenth century but reformed a century later. Nowadays it’s divided into three parts: school, church and monks residence.

SANTO DOMINGO CONVENT:
Building began in 1518, in the Mudejar Gothic style, and the fundamental parts of its structure have been conserved. After the floods of 1628 and 1661, which damaged a great deal of the convent and church, it was reformed and now has new Baroque elements.

PROVINCIAL DELEGATION:
The work of Juán Jáuregui Briales. The building today has a monumental facade built on two floors with natural stone and a gable split by an oval coat of arms based on that of the city, with the letters TM "Tanto Monta", within a large corbel sealed by a crown.

EL CENACHERO:
This portrays a fish seller and is located at the end of the Paseo de la Farola.

SCULPTURE IN HONOUR OF PICASSO:
Sculpted by Berrocal in 1976 as an homage to Pablo Picasso. You can see it in the centre of the Picasso Gardens.

THREE GRACES FOUNTAIN:
Named after the marble sculptures that decorate it and inspired by the Classical mythology which considers the nymphs to be protectors of fresh water.
