Discover the captivating transformation of Malaga's Palacio de la Aduana, its role through history, and its upcoming museum exhibition.

The Palacio de la Aduana, a Neoclassical structure in Malaga, Spain, has undergone a series of transformations throughout its history. Originally commissioned in 1791 by Pedro Ortega Monroy for use as a customs house, it later served as the Real Fábrica de Tabaco and the city government's seat. After a 1922 fire, the palace lost decades of archives. Currently, the Palacio de la Aduana is being refurbished for museum use by the Museo de Málaga, with an anticipated opening date in 2013 and a budget of 23.6 million euros. Visitors can expect to see the grand gallery, Roman busts, and towering palms greeting them on the palace's majestic façade.
