Ars Málaga

Málaga


Worth visiting for the building alone, a grand bishop's palace opposite the cathedral with an imposing portico, intricate tile work and head-tilting frescoes. The art on display in the museum is split between religious work and a collection of old African coins; there are also some temporary exhibitions.

Entrance can be included on your cathedral ticket.
