Highights

Of the original Gothic-Mudejar style temple, the main doorway is preserved, today blinded, made of brick that forms a pointed arch framed in an alfiz that descends to the ground . And the tower whose lower part was dedicated to The baptismal chapel covered by a star vault, destroyed by the works of the 18th century. From the outside, the tower has four bodies, the one that stands out the most is the second with a structure of interlocking rhomboidal geometric patterns of the Almohad tradition: the sebka cloths. The entire structure is finished with a dome covered in glazed tiles.

In its interior of three naves, we highlight the main altarpiece, in baroque style (18th century), made of polychrome wood and gold leaf in whose central niche is the image of Santiago Apóstol. In one of the chapels of the nave, the processional images of the Holy Week in Malaga of the Virgin of Love and Jesus the Rich, the work of Navas Parejo, are venerated.

In 1881 he was baptized here Pablo Ruíz Picasso, the painter from Malaga who revolutionized 20th century painting.
