The Basilica of Santa María de la Victoria is located in the heart of the neighborhood of the same name, on the outskirts of the historic center of the city. It was built on the site where the Catholic Monarchs established their camp during the siege of Malaga during the Reconquista. Originally, it was a hermitage and later, at the beginning of the 16th century, the church was built. However, its deterioration led to its demolition and reconstruction, culminating in 1700.
One of its most outstanding elements is its dressing room tower, a key representative of Spanish Baroque and one of the first built in Spain following the style of the Guadalupe tower. This temple has a Latin cross plan, with a raised choir at the beginning and tribune balconies between the pillars, a characteristic design of the Counter-Reformation.
