Crypt of Santa Maria de la Victoria - Plaza del Santuario, 8 Málaga, Spain

Heading back to the coast we now visit Málaga, where in its historic quarter there is an unusual crypt. Set in the Basilica de Santa Maria de la Victoria, the crypt is decorated with unusual and playful macabre figures of cherubs and skeletons, all in a dramatic black and white. There is also a rare image showing a heavily pregnant Madonna (Jesus’ mother Mary, not the singer!)
