The Unicaja-María Cristina Concert Hall (formerly known as María Cristina Royal Conservatory) is one of Málaga’s – and Andalusia’s – iconic cultural, art and architectural venues. Built in 1871 on the site of a fifteenth-century Franciscan monastery, it was granted the status of historical monument in 2010. Originally built to house the town’s lyceum, it became home to the conservatory of music in the early twentieth century and it continued to be so until 1971. Designated as an Asset of Cultural Interest (Bien de Interés Cultural, or BIC), it boasts one of the greatest acoustics among Spanish theatres.
