<\/span>Is a visit to San Francisco Church worthwhile?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n

Yes, San Francisco Church is well worth a visit. Situated 2 steps from the Plaza del Charco<\/strong>, this is the city’s oldest church. It dates back to the 16th century<\/strong>. But what really appealed to us was its double<\/strong> nave-and-a-half structure<\/strong>. It is in fact annexed to the Chapel of the San Juan Bautista Hermitage.<\/p>\n\n

\"Victor<\/figure>\n\n

Pla\u00e7a Victor P\u00e9rez is located in the historic center <\/strong>of Puerto de la Cruz. We really enjoyed this little flower-filled<\/strong> square in the heart of the city center and pedestrian zone. San Francisco Church and the adjacent San Juan Bautista Hermitage overlook this square.<\/p>\n\n

The two entrance gates on the fa\u00e7ade<\/h3>\n\n
\"Facade<\/figure>\n\n

The fa\u00e7ade features two portals<\/strong>. One is the church, the other the hermitage. Both are made of volcanic stone<\/strong> and reflect the robust character of Canarian architecture. They stand out perfectly against the white plaster.<\/p>\n\n

The wooden doors<\/strong> are splendid. The ones in the church are beautifully carved<\/strong>, which we particularly liked.<\/p>\n\n
