Dec 4, 2009 Architecture, Cathedral, Town, History, Church, Villages, Tourism
Arucas, found in the north of Gran Canaria island, is of great architectural and urban importance. Its old quarter has been declared of historic and artistic interest.
The most emblematic architectural piece of this city is the church of Saint John the Baptist. It was sculpted entirely by local stone masters and dates from 1909.
Anyone who visits this church may mistake it for a cathedral, which it is not. The cathedral of Gran Canaria is found in Vegueta (Las Palmas de Gran Canaria).
