Basílica de Santa María de la Victoria and Torre Camarín

In 1493, the religious order of the Minims took control of the existing chapel at the site of the former royal camp, where they subsequently built a convent and church. This site marked the first foundation of the Order of Minims in Spain.

Due to the deteriorated state of the original 16th-century building, it was demolished to make way for a new structure. Construction of the current church building lasted from 1693 to 1700, at which point it was inaugurated.

The crypt of the Counts of Buenavista was constructed in the late 17th century, funded by José Francisco Guerrero Chavarino and his wife, Antonia Coronado Zapata. It was designed by architect and sculptor Felipe de Unzurrunzaga and serves as a significant example of Baroque funerary art.

The Santuario de la Victoria was officially declared a Bien de Interés Cultural (Heritage of Cultural Interest) by the Spanish authorities on July 22, 1994, recognizing its historical and architectural significance to the national heritage.

At the end of the 1990s, the Málaga City Council undertook a major urban reform to enhance the sanctuary. This included the demolition of buildings on Fernando el Católico street to expand the square and the relocation of the temple's access ramp, with the project being completed in 1998.

On May 20, 2007, Pope Benedict XVI officially granted the temple the title of Minor Basilica, making it the third church in Málaga to receive this papal honor.
