A worker fell to his death in an interior patio in the city centre.
There has been another fatal accident in the workplace in Málaga, the eleventh this year and the third in less than a week.
It happened in Calle General Ibáñez where a man fell into an interior patio during building work.
A team of firemen rescued the body from the patio but the ambulance crew could only pronounce the 42 year old Argentinean victim dead at the scene.
The Junta de Andalucia has ordered a halt to work at the site while possible safety irregularities are being investigated.
