The building is the work of Dr. Esteban Martín y Martín and two Malagueños masons, and mixes influences of different architectural styles such as Byzantine, Romanesque, Gothic and Mudejar that marked Spain culturally. The materials used are brick, concrete, natural stone and wood among others; As well as the stained-glass windows inside.
