Palacio Episcopal / Bishops Palace
Centro Cultural Fundación Unicaja de Málaga
The Episcopal Palace houses a small collection of religious paintings and images.
A permanent exhibition called "Ars Sacra" is part of the patrimony of the dioceses of the province of Málaga and has been collected from a number of churches. Three rooms are chronologically arranged from the XV to the XVIII century. The last room is entitled 'Masters of the Baroque'. There are polycromatic woodcarvings of Ecce Homo and Virgen Doloroso by Pedro de Mena.
There is also a permanent exhibition of sub-Saharan African artefacts and currency.
The building itself also has a small courtyard garden with a fountain where you can enjoy a peaceful space among orange trees and palm trees. It opened to the public in 2014.
There are also temporary exhibitions on the first floor.
The three-storey building itself was built in 1762 by Antoni Ramos. Its Baroque façade, made of red, white, pink and grey marble, is a real eye-catcher.
This exhibition space became the 'Centro Cultural Fundación Unicaja de Málaga' on 21 October 2019.
