Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Candelaria

The church features a separate bell tower situated on Joapira volcano, rising 50 meters high with lime-colored walls and ochre edges.

The bell tower structure underwent multiple renovations throughout its history, with the current construction completed in 1952 under Federico Padrón's influence.

The church bells were strategically positioned to ensure their sound would reach across the entire Golfo valley, connecting the local community.

Visitors can climb the 20-step stone staircase to access the bell tower, but should bring water and sun protection during their visit.

The church bell tower stands independently from the main building, representing a late Baroque architectural design that distinguishes it from other religious structures.
