The churches of Agulo are a set of historic Catholic places of worship in the village of Agulo, on the northern coast of La Gomera. These buildings, including the Parish Church of San Marcos Evangelista, date from the 17th and 18th centuries and feature Canarian architectural elements. They serve as the religious and cultural heart of the municipality, with simple whitewashed facades and wooden altarpieces.
What to expect
- Visit the Parish Church of San Marcos Evangelista, the main church, with its 18th-century wooden altarpiece and carved image of the patron saint.
- See the smaller Ermita de San Juan Bautista, a 17th-century hermitage with a single nave and a plain stone exterior.
- Observe the traditional Canarian architecture, including wooden balconies and teak doors, on the church exteriors and adjacent buildings.
- Attend a Sunday mass at 10:00 to hear local choir singing in Spanish, lasting about 45 minutes.
- The churches are open to visitors from 9:00 to 13:00 and 16:00 to 19:00, with free entry and no guided tour required.
- This activity suits history and architecture enthusiasts, as well as travellers seeking quiet cultural stops during a walking tour of Agulo.
