Why go
The contrast between exterior and interior is the reason to enter. White plasterwork, gilded details and devotional images reveal how later Baroque decoration reshaped a church founded after the Christian conquest. Its central location makes comparison with Sacred Heart and the cathedral easy without creating a separate journey.
What to look for
- Baroque plasterwork and gilding transform the interior walls and vaults.
- The church is dedicated to Málaga's patron martyrs, Ciriaco and Paula.
- Its modest exterior gives little warning of the decorative interior.
Useful to know
- Treat it as a short architectural visit between nearby central stops.
- Do not enter during services unless attending worship.
