	The city of Malaga finds surrounded of mountainous systems (Mounts of Malaga). Two rivers, the Guadalmedina and the Guadalhorce, happen for the city ending in the Mediterranean. The motto of Malaga is very noble and very loyal, always Brave, Much Hospitable, very Charitable, The First one in the Danger of the Freedom In the place where the city settles a poblamiento existed t�rdulo, and after it, Malaga was one of the colonies founded for the Shot Phoenicians concerning the VIIth century adC on the south coast of Mediterranean, possibly for the good conditions for docking of his port on the foot of the mount Gibralfaro, her baptizing for the name of Malaka (מלכה). Although often it is indicated like �timo the Phoenician word for the salt (cf. Hebrew מלח m�la ḥ, Arab ملح thousand ḥ), the different consonantismo not long ago probable this one theory. Problems of the same order reduce credibility to the temptress explanation from the verb l-q-ḥ "to take, to grasp, to turn" with preformante locativo m - and with a sense "place in which it twists (the metal)" (malqa ḥ or similar), indicating the presence of some smelting; extralinguistically, this theory finds support in the frequent appearance of pincers recorded in the coins minted in Malaga. Linguistically the only theory that can be supported without big problems is the one that aims to a form of at Semitic root m-l-k "to reign, to have domain", indicative chance of attends in soil malacitano of a temple devoted to some goddess, probably Astart� (which Semitic mythology is called "a queen of the sky" in ). According to the Greek Estrab�n, the metropolis had irregular plant. The of Malaga province was inhabited from times much more remote, and a test of it there is the set of dolmens of Antequera, the rock paintings of the Cave of the Sink in Benaoj�n, Cave of the Treasure in Corner of the Victory or the ceramics found in Nerja. The city was possibly the Greek colony of Mainake (in Greek Μαινάκη), of which remains have not been although yes there exist documents that mention his existence. Nabucodonosor conquers them Phoenician territories, with what Malaga happens to be on 570 BC dominated by the Carthaginians, who were trying to remain with Phoenician commerce. Seven centuries later, the Romans conquered the city from the equal one that other regions under the mastery of Carthage, in the year 218 BC after the wars p�nicas. The Romans begin the construction of important works. The dynasty Flavia begins the Port of Malaga and with August the Roman Theater is constructed. He is the emperor Tito, of the family Flavia, who will grant to Malaga the privileges of municipality. In the Roman epoch the city (in Latin Malaca) reaches one notable development; turned into confederate city, a special code was ruled for , Lex Flavia Malacitana and with important weight of the educated Town, lover of the art. The theater belongs to this stage Roman and some sculptural pieces preserved in the Museum Archaeological Provincial. The Roman decline passes to the domination of the Towns German, that on the year 411 devastated the of Malaga coasts. With the intention of reconstructing the Roman empire, the emperor Byzantine Justiniano conquers, between other territories, Malaga, that will be left by it on the year 623 due to pressures visigodas. Malaga is surrounded with towers that invasions were used for alertness before and for the taxes cashing to the wagons step. After the Arab conquest the city was part of the Moslem region of to the Andalus, called by them Mālaqah (in Arab ) and after division in factions became a capital of the faction hammud�. Of touches stay town planning in the historical center and in two of his principal monuments: The Citadel and the Castle of Gibralfaro, in addition to a double amurallamiento: the Cogust. It is the year 1089 when the almar�vides are called by the Kingdoms of Factions for to solve problems rivals, the Moslem regents having left in Al-Andalus and arrebat�ndo the domino. Until 1143 they are not expelled of Malaga, where, years later there would govern Ibn Hud (up to 1.238) fervently antiAlmohad. To the Hud death, king of Granada Mohamed I offers himself the city to . In 1348 the black pest asola Europe, being is the date in which Citadel and Castle of Gibralfaro take his definitive form. The city has several doors that allow the step across the walled enclosure, which name they keep on lasting today: Dark door, Door of the Sea... In this one there lived through stage one of his most illustrious children: the Jewish philosopher Ibn Gabirol. During the Reconquest, the Arabs constructed big quantity of defense towers for the ciduad, this way on the west Torremolinos, to north Port of the Tower (ancient way of Antequera), to the northwest the towers of Alhaur�n of the Tower and to the east the Tower of Benagalb�n. The Conquest of the city of Malaga for Reyes Cat�licos in in August, 1487 the conquest of the kingdom supposed a bloody episode in the final war for nazar� of Granada. After a long siege cutting the water earnings and supplies to the city, from 5 of May on August 18, the powerful Castilian army formed for 12.000 riders, 25.000 infantes and 8.000 more soldiers of support, it managed to take the city defended by 15.000 gomeres African and warriors of Malaga. The siege of the city was one of more lengths of It reconquers, it lasted 6 months and cut the food supply, giving up these on August 13, 1487, the population went punished to the slavery or to death penalty. King Fernando decided to apply an exceptional punishment and one refused to grant honorable capitulation for the defeated ones. Except the group of merchant Al� Dordux that Hamad produced the city behind the back of the arraez to the Tagr� or The Zegr� that would resist in the astillo of Gibralfaro some days more, 15.000 survivors were turned into slaves. Between 5.000 and 6.000 Christians repopulated the province (1.000 her capital). In the first moment four parishes raised in capital: the churches of the Tabernacle - dedicated to San Pedro, founded in 1488 and reconstructed in the century XVIII - San Juan, Santiago and Saints Martyrs. After the conquest, king Fernando Catholic delivered to Malaga her image of the Virgin of the Victory, given size of German origin for the emperor Maximiliano I to the Castilian monarch who from then is the boss of the city. From the XVIth century until the XVIIIth century, in spite of the epidemics, earthquakes, floods, explosions of mills of gunpowder and them soldiers' levies (necessary conscriptions) the population increased of 3.616 families to 4.296. In 1585, Felipe II arranges a new study of the Port, constructing him a new dike in 1588, in the east area, I join to The Cogust. In two following centuries the Port went away prolonging so much to the west as to east. The building of Customs begun to be constructed in 1791, and the works did not conclude until 1842. Already in the contemporary epoch, the French domination of Malaga lasted two years (January, 1810 until August, 1812). After passing in Cadiz the Constitution of 1812, the first one is constituted in Malaga Constitutional town hall composed by two mayors. In 1831, Jos� Maria Torrijos, famous Spanish liberal, and his men, that fought against the absolutism of Fernando VII and the restoration of the Constitution of 1812, were captured in Alhaur�n of Tower, after being betrayed by the governor of the city, and executed in the beaches of the Bundle, and obelisk later buried down in his honor in the Square of the Favor. It was a city pioneering in the peninsula with the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, becoming the first industrial town of Spain, and to support later the second position after Barcelona for years, acquaintance like the city of the chimneys. Malaga was a cradle of several raisings in the rough XIXth century in pro of a more liberal reg�men. In 1835, dead Fernando VII, organizes a riot for the ineficia of the government of the count of Toreno. One year later the governors are murdered in Malaga civilly and militarily. In 1843 another insurrection begins in the capital. So much "revolutionary" activity costs him the title to the city "always brave" and the legend "the first one in the danger of liberate". With the resignation to the throne of Amadeo de Saboya it is proclaimed the First one Spanish republic on February 11, 1873. Disturbances and the ciduad of declara cantonalista take place big , and the Customs is assaulted, burning itself numerous records and finished files. Of this epoch, they stand out the family Larios, the conservative politician C�novas of the Castle and the industrialist Agust�n Heredia Mart�nez. From 1860 to 1865 constructed himself the railroad Malaga - Cordova and it is to ends of century when the tramcar is started. In 1891 Marquess of Larios opens the street to himself, more acquaintance of Malaga and principal artery of the Historical Center. During the Spanish Civil war, Malaga was bombarded for Italian Air forces of Mussolini and the Nationalists, in 1936, provoking a massive flight towards the republican area of Almeria. During the Franco period, an expansion lived through the city for the tourism foreign towards the Costa del Sol doing a boom in the economy of the city in the decade of 1960 supported by the massive emigration towards the north of Spain, and the countries of the north of Europe. With the establishment of the democracy, the city was consolidated like one of the most important of Spain.

As well as the castle of Gibralfaro of Phoenician base, constructed by king Yusuf I in Arab epoch, as well as the Citadel, beautiful palace - fortitude, of the same epoch. After the Christian conquest of the city, the Cathedral is constructed of Malaga or Cathedral of the Embodiment, which characteristic more acquaintance is to be unfinished. The absence of one of his towers does that the citizens nickname it affectionately like The Manquita.
