Real Conservatorio de Música María Cristina
The Real Conservatorio de Música María Cristina stands in Málaga as a public building and protected Bien de Interés Cultural. Today, Sala María Cristina hosts concerts within the restored historic structure.
Founded by the Catholic Monarchs in 1489, the Franciscan monastery changed profoundly after secularization and property division in 1836. The Liceo occupied its remains from 1871. At the beginning of the twentieth century, the building became a music conservatory named for Queen María Cristina. The conservatory moved elsewhere in 1971, leaving the building in disrepair. Unicaja acquired it in 1975, and architect Enrique Atencia led restoration before its reopening in 2009.
The Salón Mudéjar combines historicist and neomudéjar decoration. The Salón de los Espejos adds pseudorococo mirrors and floral paintings by José Nogales Sevilla. The concert hall displays works by Joaquín Martínez de la Vega and José Denis Belgrano, while exhibition rooms and a bar continue the decorative theme.
