The Iglesia Vieja de Zafarraya is a neoclassical church designed by the same architect who designed the Iglesia de La Merced in Málaga. Unfortunately, the church was destroyed by the Andalusian earthquake on 25 December 1884. The church had three naves covered with wooden trusses, walls of brick and masonry, and a large central dome. The ruins of the church have recently been restored and transformed into a cultural centre for the community. This monument is now an important tourist attraction and a symbol of local history and culture

The Inglesia Vieja de Zafarraya, the Old Church of Zafarraya, is a neoclassical building, probably designed by the same architect as the Church of La Merced in Málaga.
Before it could be completed and inaugurated, it was destroyed by an earthquake on December 24, 1884.
For years it fell into disrepair and was only used as a parking space for vehicles until it was restored in the early 2000s and now serves as a cultural center and for tourist purposes.
