Located in the Pasillo de Santa Isabel in the historic center of Málaga, the Mesón de la Victoria is a historic building dating back to 1632. It was originally constructed as a mesón managed by the Franciscan friars of the Convento de la Victoria. Designed by Diego Delgado, the structure underwent few transformations until the 20th century.
In the 1970s, the building was acquired by the Caja de Ahorros de Málaga (now Unicaja) to house the Museo de Artes y Costumbres Populares. Today, it serves as an ethnographic museum for the Unicaja foundation. The building is organized around a courtyard and consists of three floors.
The first floor originally housed stables and storage rooms, while the second floor contained the bedrooms. The third floor is a gallery featuring a facade that faces Camas Street. In 1964, the building was declared a Bien de Interés Cultural.
