Franciscan Conceptionist monastery

Since this religious community began their life in seclusion in 1643, the building has lived through being narrowly missed by a tongue of lava in 1706, a fire three years later and the force of the raging sea in 1856. Despite all of these catastrophes, this is the only monastery that still stands in Garachico.Its sober white façade is adorned with a lovely stone archway and a series of coats of arms. The small chapel inside is presided over by an altarpiece with a figure of Nuestra Señora de la Concepción.
