The Iglesia San Pedro (Church of San Pedro) in Málaga is an historic Catholic church located in the El Perchel neighbourhood. It was built in 1626 by Pedro Díaz de Palacios, and its architecture combines classical, Mudejar, and Baroque styles. Originally planned with three naves, only one was ever completed, and features a simplified design and a bell tower.
One of its key features is the early 18th-century Chapel of the Sagrario, which is rich in Baroque plasterwork and paintings.
By the 20th century, the church fell into disrepair but was restored in the 1940s by Enrique Atencia, who added chapels for the Brotherhood of the Christ of the Expiration, a significant local religious group.
Architecturally, the church stands out for its reddish stone facade, whitewashed walls, semicircular arches, Doric pilasters, stained-glass windows, and a 17th-century baptismal font.
The interior features a single nave and a raised wooden choir.
The Church of San Pedro is valued as both a spiritual and cultural symbol of Málaga, recognized for its architectural simplicity and historical significance.
