Parish Church of Santiago Apóstol

Highlight • Religious Site

The Iglesia de Santiago Apóstol in Antequera, Málaga, is an important historical building. Originally built as a simple chapel in 1519, it became a parish church in 1822, while the current building dates largely from the 18th century and is believed to have been designed by the architect Cristóbal García. The façade combines Mudéjar elements with colonial influences and is particularly notable for its characteristic spadaña. Inside, the church is simple, with a single nave and a semicircular dome over the main altar. A particular highlight is the Rococo Chapel of the Virgin of Health, dating from 1765, which features elegant white stucco decoration. The church is located in the Plaza de Santiago and is open to visitors daily; admission is free, although a small donation for the lighting of the altar is appreciated. The Iglesia de Santiago Apóstol is a remarkable example of Andalusian church architecture and a worthwhile stop during a visit to Antequera.

The Alcazaba of Antequera

Highlight • Castle

The castle-fortress of Antequera offers the best views of the city. Although the fortification dates from the Muslim period, the construction was probably carried out on Roman remains. It can be visited between 10:00 and 15:00, except on public holidays.

Collegiate Church of San Sebastián, Antequera

Highlight • Religious Site

The mix of styles and the interior design, which is clearly aimed at guilt/repentance, alone make the church worth seeing.

Church of Our Lady of Remedies

Highlight • Religious Site

Cataloged as a church, it has a main altar presided over by a huge Baroque altarpiece with Solomonic columns whose exuberance clashes again with the sobriety and simplicity of the exterior of the temple. She is the patron saint of the city and the building has been declared a National Historic-Artistic Monument.

Antequera Bullring

Highlight • Historical Site

Beautifully designed bullring (although the sport itself is rather iffy). The leg room on the reserved seats is even smaller than on the low-cost airline. There are public toilets in the outbuilding on the north side.
