Church of Nuestra Señora de la Concepción, Valverde

The Church of Nuestra Señora de la Concepción features three naves, twin bell towers reaching 24 meters, and a sixteen-faced lantern tower above the structure.

Construction of the current building began in 1768 after earthquakes in 1704 and 1705 damaged the original chapel that had stood since the 16th century.

The church houses valuable religious artworks from Canarian painters including Miguel Arroyo, Luján Pérez, and Rodríguez de la Oliva within its stone walls.

The church tower provides visitors access through several steps, with facilities for wheelchair users and a nominal fee of one euro for the ascent.

A French clock, given by Dr. Gaspar Jerónimo Quintero in 1867, rings from the tower each December 31st as crowds gather to welcome the new year.
