Parroquia de San Francisco de Asís, Baroque church in Alameda de Colón, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain.

Parroquia de San Francisco de Asís is a church with a Baroque facade located at Alameda de Colón in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, built in traditional Canarian style. The interior divides into three naves with ornate wooden ceilings showing Mudéjar patterns and impressive stone details throughout.

An original monastery building from 1518 was destroyed during Dutch attacks and later rebuilt through work by architects Juan Lucero starting in 1635 and Juan Báez starting in 1652. These phases shaped the structure as it appears today and defined its building history.

The image of Nuestra Señora de la Soledad de la Portería, originally venerated at the convent's portería, was canonically crowned on 19 March 1964 by mandate of Pope John XXIII. It was the first Marian image in the Canary Islands to be carried under a palio, and it closes the Good Friday procession at 7 p.m. before the 10:30 p.m. Retiro y Silencio procession.

Visitors can explore the church on most weekdays to view the architectural elements and religious artworks on display. It helps to be mindful of active services so you can experience how the space is actually used and respected.

The convent's orchards were the source of seeds for crops whose cultivation later reached the New World, according to the parish history. The church also keeps a stone bell gable standing apart from the building, beside the church.
