Church of San Marcos, Parish church in Icod de los Vinos, Spain

The Church of San Marcos features three naves separated by semicircular arches, eight chapels, and Mudejar coffered ceilings throughout its rectangular structure.

Founded in 1500 as a small hermitage dependent on Santiago de Los Realejos, the church received parish status in 1515 following the appearance of San Marcos Evangelista.

The interior contains diverse religious artworks, including a Gothic carving of San Marcos at the main altar and a Mexican corn paste sculpture of Christ.

Located in Plaza de Lorenzo Cáceres, the church maintains regular services and houses a museum displaying the largest silver filigree cross in the world.

The main entrance displays Mannerist architecture with a semi-circular arch decorated with plush ornaments and columns featuring Tuscan capitals.
