Palace of Marques de Valdeflores
This Palace was constructed in the 18th century as an exhibition hall for the Malagueños but was later acquired by a noble family in 1895 for personal premises.In 1986 it was bought back by the government and today hosts different associations.
It preserves an austere entrance of white marble composed by pilasters that support a simple balcony; after the grating of the vestibule one finds a court that has preserved its series of arches from the 18th on columns of marble in three of its sides, and for the left side the stairs are opened by classic balustrade of white marble. In the top dependences some original roofs have remained, as well as chimneys and some spaces of interest.
The palace of the marqués de Valdeflores transports the visitor into the "exquisite" life of Malaga at the end of the 18th century and start of the 19th. This building, constructed in the 18th century, was made a guest house in the 19th (even stables where men could leave their mounts were installed) until around 1895 when the Countess of Albarede acquired the building, reforming and furnishing it as her family home.
It has three floors and a typical central patio surrounded by a gallery whose walls are decorated with Arab mosaics. Inside the palace are the eyecatching staircase and balustrade, both sculptured in Carrara marble.
During the restoration of the building, acquired in 1985
by the County Council, the decorated wooden ceilings were
preserved and frescos, painted by Fernández Alvarado,
were discovered in the room which had been the main dining
hall.
