SAN MIGUEL HERMITAGE

This hermitage was built in 1506 by order of Governor Alonso Fernández de Lugo and placed under the invocation of Archangel San Miguel. The statue of the saint is kept in the church of Santo Domingo and is venerated every year on its patron saint's day, September 29th. After extensive restoration work, it was transformed into an exhibition hall. You can also visit the seventeenth-century church of Santo Domingo de Guzmán, which has beautiful Mudejar coffered ceilings and some paintings by Cristóbal Hernández de la Quintana, a Canary painter.
