Iglesia de San Marcos

Old parish church with a Renaissance doorway and carved wooden ceiling.

Iglesia de San Marcos anchors the old centre beside the dragon tree. It began on the site of an earlier chapel and keeps the kind of details that reward a quick look inside: a Renaissance portal, carved wooden ceiling, and a silver-worked Baroque altar.

The church also gives the area around Plaza de San Marcos its shape. Pair it with the dragon tree rather than treating it as a separate outing.
