Gerónimo Cuervo González


Gerónimo Cuervo González was a Spanish architect and the designer of a number of the most iconic buildings of Malaga, among them the Cervantes Theatre
, the Galvez Hospital, the Church of St. Peter, the Abbey of St. Anne, the College of St. Stanislav of Kostka, as well as a number of residential buildings, among them, those situated in Spinola Square and Bishop's Square.
He was also involved in the construction of St. Michael's Cemetery alongside other important architects of Malaga.
In 2010 reformation work began on one of his most elegant residential buildings, number 3 at Calle Marques de Guadiaro. Several years earlier the neglected building had been bought by the Iraqi-born, British architect Dr. Basil Al Bayati. In homage to Jerónimo Cuervo González, the building has now been renovated to its former glory and houses an Architectural and Cultural Centre, a bookshop, 'Basil's' cafeteria, as well as Dr. Al Bayati's architectural studios.
