Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Concepción
Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Concepción was the island's first church - constructed in 1502 - and has subsequently undergone many changes. Elements of Gothic and plateresque styles can still be distinguished and the finely wrought wooden mudéjar ceilings are a delight. Climb the tower for stunning rooftop views.
