Places to see in Teguise
The Villa Real of Teguise is the full name of Teguise,
the widest district of Lanzarote. The
Villa was historically very important, as it was the capital of the island for
more than two centuries. Nowadays it shows its great state of preservation of
the beautiful cultural, artistic and architectonic heritage achieved when it
was the capital. That’s why the old quarter deserves a visit, it has been
declared a historical-artistic architectural complex.
Walking thorough the old city
Sometimes having a quiet walk is enough to enjoy the
essence of a place. It’s what happen while exploring the old city: a pleasure
for the senses.
This is what happens when you walk through the old
part of the town: a delight for the senses. Its cobblestone streets and
perfectly preserved white facades invite you to get lost in the village.
Teguise makes visitors fall in love with its stately
homes, such as Casa Perdomo, Casa Consistorial, Casa Museo Marqués de Herrera y
Rojas or Casa Spínola.
The Timple House Museum deserves
special mention. It is a multifunctional space that acts as a study centre, a
cultural space and a museum. Here you can enjoy a wide range of timples, a
musical instrument typical of the Canary Islands.
Santa Bárbara Castle
This castle is the oldest military construction on
Lanzarote that has lasted over time. Sancho de Herrera built it in the 16th
century in a strategic defensive position.
When he lost its main function, he fell into
abandonment until the 1960s. Since then, conservation works allowed it to
remain standing today. It also houses the Piracy Museum.
Religious Buildings
Among the places to see in Teguise, there are several
religious buildings, such as the Church of Miraflores, the Convent of Santo
Domingo, the Hermitage of Veracruz and the Church of Nuestra Señora de
Guadalupe.
