Antequera is a historic inland town in the province of Málaga, in Andalusia, occupying a strategic position between Seville, Granada, Córdoba, and Málaga. Its vernacular architecture is characterised by whitewashed houses, narrow streets, elegant churches, convents, and fine Renaissance and Baroque buildings. Significant landmarks include the Alcazaba of Antequera, the Collegiate Church of Santa María la Mayor, the numerous Baroque churches that have earned it the nickname “the Florence of Andalusia”, and the nearby Antequera Dolmens Site, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The surrounding countryside is devoted to olive groves, cereal cultivation, and the production of vegetables and livestock on the fertile Vega de Antequera. Antequera stands out from similar Andalusian towns because it combines an exceptional concentration of historic churches with some of Europe’s most important prehistoric monuments and the dramatic limestone landscape of El Torcal, all within a single destination.
