The parish church of Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe dominates the Plaza Mayor and is the oldest religious foundation on Lanzarote, established not long after the Norman conquest of the island in the early fifteenth century. The building you see today is the work of several rebuildings — fires in 1909 and 1939 destroyed the previous structures, and the current interior dates largely from the mid-twentieth century, although the bell tower preserves earlier stonework.
The inside is restrained: whitewashed walls, dark timber ceiling, a single nave with a polychrome baroque altarpiece. The most arresting detail is the local stonework around the doors and pulpit, dark volcanic stone against the white walls. The church is normally open in the mornings; Sunday Mass is the easiest time to see the interior.
