Parroquia de San Pedro Apóstol

This guide to the Parroquia de San Pedro Apóstol in Málaga starts with the flood that struck the Perchel district before dawn on September 24, 1907, when the Guadalmedina river tore out its bridges one by one. From there it goes back to the church's founding in the early sixteen hundreds, built as an emergency chapel for a neighborhood the river kept cutting off from its official parish across the water. It also follows master builder Pedro Díaz de Palacios, who was working on Málaga's cathedral at the same time construction dragged on here. Take a look at the single nave around you, all that his original three-nave plan became.
