La Farola of Málaga

Highlight • Monument

The lighthouse in Malaga, known as La Farola de Malaga, is an iconic landmark of the Andalusian port city. It is located at the port of Malaga and is one of the few lighthouses in Spain named in the feminine form. “Farola” means “The Lighthouse Woman”. La Farola was built in 1817 and has served as a landmark for ships heading to the port ever since. Over the years, the lighthouse has been modernized to meet the demands of modern shipping. It stands on the Paseo de la Farola, a popular promenade that runs along the port. In addition to its practical function, the Farola also has symbolic value and represents the maritime spirit of Malaga.

The lighthouse itself is about 38 meters high and has a very characteristic cylindrical shape, making it an unmistakable element of the Malaga skyline. Especially at sunset, the area around the lighthouse offers beautiful views of the sea and the city. A great destination for a tour in Malaga.

Málaga City Hall

Highlight • Monument

The Málaga City Hall, also known as the "Casa Consistorial," is a prominent landmark and the seat of the city government. Before the current building was constructed, the city administration was located in various places. Until 1869, the City Hall was situated on the Plaza de la Constitución, after which it moved several times until the construction of a new building was finally decided upon.

Construction of the present City Hall began in 1912 on newly reclaimed land near the port. The architects Fernando Guerrero Strachan and Manuel Rivera Vera designed the building in a Neo-Baroque style with Modernist influences. It was officially inaugurated on April 11, 1919. Today, it not only serves the municipal administration but is also a significant symbol of Málaga's architectural and cultural development in the early 20th century.
