About this experience

The Church of San Bartolomé, a 17th-century Catholic parish church in the centre of San Bartolomé village, Lanzarote, is the island's principal religious monument. Its single-nave structure, whitewashed walls, and wooden Mudéjar ceiling reflect traditional Canarian architecture. The church houses the venerated image of the Virgen del Carmen and serves as the focal point for local fiestas.

What to expect

  • Guided tour of the interior lasts 30 minutes, covering the main altar, side chapels, and the carved wooden pulpit.
  • View the 18th-century Flemish altarpiece depicting the life of Saint Bartholomew, restored in 2015.
  • Observe the original stone baptismal font, dated 1692, still used for baptisms today.
  • Attend the Sunday 11:00 Mass to hear the church's 19th-century pipe organ, played by the resident organist.
  • Suitable for visitors interested in religious art and local history; entry is free, with a donation box for maintenance.
  • The adjacent plaza hosts a weekly farmers' market on Saturdays, where you can see the church's bell tower from the stalls.
