Churches in Teguise is a self-guided walking tour of the historic religious buildings in the former capital of Lanzarote, Teguise. The route covers the 16th-century Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, the Convento de San Francisco, and the Ermita de San Miguel, each with distinct Canarian architecture. These stone churches and chapels sit within the town's cobbled streets and plazas, offering a direct view of local religious heritage.
