About this experience

Churches in Tías is a collection of historic Catholic churches located in the municipality of Tías on the island of Lanzarote. The main church, Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Candelaria, stands in the town centre and dates from the 17th century. These buildings feature whitewashed walls, wooden altars, and simple Canarian architectural details.

What to expect

  • Visit the Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Candelaria, the principal church, with its single nave and carved wooden altarpiece.
  • See the adjacent Plaza de la Candelaria, a small square with palm trees and stone benches, used for local fiestas.
  • Observe the church's exterior bell tower, a plain rectangular structure typical of Lanzarote's vernacular religious architecture.
  • Attend a Sunday mass at 11:00, which lasts about 45 minutes and includes hymns in Spanish.
  • Walk to the smaller Ermita de San Antonio in the nearby hamlet of La Asomada, a 20-minute drive, to view its simple white facade.
  • Suitable for travellers interested in local history and architecture, with each church visit taking 15 to 30 minutes.
