The whitewashed Church of San Pedro sits a block back from the seafront in the middle of the village, its short bell tower visible from the ferry pier. The present structure is the result of centuries of patching and rebuilding, but the foundations date to 1524, when Spanish settlers established Taboga as a base for missions along the Pacific coast. The interior is modest — wooden pews, a simple altarpiece — and the doors are usually open during daylight hours.
The square outside is the social centre of the village, with a couple of benches, a small statue, and a view over the boats moored in the bay. The annual feast of the Virgen del Carmen in mid-July fills the church and brings a procession down to the water, where statues of the Virgin are taken out on decorated boats — one of the most colourful days of the year on the island.
