The churches in Hermigua are historic Catholic buildings in the main village of Hermigua on La Gomera's northern coast. These structures, including the Parish of Santo Domingo de Guzman, date from the 16th and 17th centuries and feature Canarian architectural elements. The churches serve as active places of worship and cultural landmarks within the island's agricultural valley.
What to expect
- Visitors enter the Parish of Santo Domingo de Guzman, a 16th-century church with a single nave and wooden Mudejar ceiling
- The interior holds a carved image of the Virgin of Guadalupe, brought to the island in the 17th century
- The adjacent bell tower offers a view over the surrounding banana plantations and the Atlantic Ocean
- The church plaza hosts a weekly market on Saturday mornings, where local farmers sell cheese and palm honey
- The buildings are open for self-guided visits on weekday mornings from 9:00 to 12:00, with mass on Sundays at 10:00
- The route between the two main churches, Santo Domingo and San Juan, is a 15-minute walk along Calle Real, passing old stone houses
