<\/span>Is a visit to the Church of La Concepci\u00f3n worthwhile?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n

Yes, the church is well worth a visit. Listed as a National Monument<\/strong>, it is the city’s oldest building. Theoriginal church<\/strong> underwent numerous extensions and transformations over the following centuries. It therefore reflects the Canaries’ rich historical heritage. In addition to its famous tower (soon to be the subject of a dedicated article), we were captivated by the decorative motifs of its Mud\u00e9jar-style coffered ceilings<\/strong> and all its other Baroque ornaments, emblematic ofCanary Island craftsmanship<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

<\/span>What you can see<\/span><\/h2>\n\n

The Baroque fa\u00e7ade with its sculpted portal<\/h3>\n\n
\"Facade<\/figure>\n\n

We liked the sober, uncluttered<\/strong> style of the facade, where the magnificent carved entrance portal stands out in particular. Made of dark volcanic rock<\/strong>, it is adorned with elaborate details typical of the Baroque<\/strong> period. The heavy wooden door, also carved, is very impressive.<\/p>\n\n

The three-aisle interior<\/h3>\n\n
\"aisles<\/figure>\n\n

Inside, we discovered three naves<\/strong> with sober white walls<\/strong>. They are separated by columns<\/strong> supporting semicircular arches<\/strong>. Columns and arches are made of dark volcanic stone<\/strong>, contrasting with the immaculate walls. This layout is typical of Canarian architecture.<\/p>\n\n
