Plaza Uncibay
Plaza Uncibay is a public square in Málaga’s historic centre, surrounded by architecture from the early twentieth century. Its open space connects with the lively atmosphere of nearby Plaza Mitjana and the city’s nightlife.
Fernando de Uncibay was a Basque captain involved in Málaga’s conquest alongside the Catholic Monarchs. During the nineteenth century, the square witnessed various incidents and briefly carried a name linked to the Cortes of Cádiz. A 1989 renovation removed parking, reduced traffic and installed an obelisk designed within the renewed setting.
Buildings at numbers 4 and 9 show contrasting architectural character around the square. Number 9 presents a neorationalist design from 1935 by Enrique Atencia Molina, while José Seguiri’s sculptures portray the Rape of the Sabine Women and the Death of Actaeon.
