One of the most iconic places in Arrecife is located at Barlovento Beach, it's not the busiest beach or the best beach in the area but it's a boat stranded, called Telamon and that has been there since 1981.

The story went like this, in 1981 the merchant ship called Temple Hall and finally named with the name of Telamon, 139 meters long and 18 wide wrecked off the coast of Lanzarote. Before shipwrecking the Telamon was loaded with wooden logs from Ivory Coast and its destination was the Greek port of Thessaloniki, an accident caused a waterway before reaching the island of Lanzarote, was towed to this area to avoid blocking the port of Arrecife. These remains were not removed and currently forms one of the most curious and at the same time the most unknown pictures of the entire archipelago.

The beach can be easily reached by car and is very close to the urban area, the sand is dark in color and is a perfect place to take curious snapshots. From the shore you can see an imposing part of the ship, since during its towage the ship split in two and one of them sank.

In the capital of Lanzarote, Arrecife, is the most important temple in the city, it is the Mother Church of San Ginés Obispo or also known by the name of Church of San Ginés de Clermont.

San Ginés de Clermont was the twenty-fifth bishop of Clermont in the French region of Auvergne and is the patron of the Arrecife

The origin of the Church of San Ginés de Clermont is removed to 1574 when it was created in the Puerto de Arrecife the hermitage in honor of San Ginés<, patron saint of the town. The temple had a flood that caused serious damage to it so that in 1665 it had to be rebuilt, with the passage of time it was enlarged until in June 1978 it was cataloged as parish.

The floor of the church is square, inside, the temple, is divided into three naves separated by arches of half point on Tuscan columns. Regarding the roof, it should be noted that they are made of wood with a clear Mudejar inspiration, with respect to the façade it has neoclassical lines in which we can highlight the semicircular pediment and the tower that was built in 1842.

The Church San Ginés de Clermont was declared Asset of Cultural Interest in 1990.

The Casa de los Arroyo is one of the icons of Arrecife. A building that dates from the XVIII century and that originally belonged to the Armas family and later to the Arroyo family. It is especially striking that the type of architecture with popular and domestic dyes, currently the Casa de los Arroyo is the headquarters of the Blas Cabrera Scientific-Cultural Center.

The importance of the Casa de los Arroyo has led it to be declared a historical-artistic monument, the roof of the Arab tile building must be removed, something unusual in the constructions of the archipelago.

The Casa de los Arroyo was used as a customs office in times when the capital Arrecife was not the urban center that it is today and it was only a port of entry and exit to the island whose capital then was Teguise.

Following the architecture of the house, it has a sober style where the patio, balconies and wooden stairs stand out. The building also usually hosts artistic exhibitions, which is why it sometimes becomes the nerve center of the capital of Lanzarote.

One of the reference sites of Arrefice is the Historic Site of the San Gabriel Castle located on the coast in one of the islets of the bay.

It is Castillo de San Gabriel is a construction that served as a fortress against piracy that came from Africa. To access the fortification must be made through the famous Puente de las Bolas, a few accesses dating from the XVIII century and is built of stone and topped with two balls .

Although they are separated by approximately 200 meters, the two elements are part of the complex and are interlaced by two cobblestone roads. The Castle did not always look like this, at first it was a smaller construction with wooden interiors that burned after an attack. In 1568 it was rebuilt by the Italian engineer Torriani.

The Castillo de San Gabriel currently has the Museo Arqueológico de Arrecife where more than 2500 pieces of the era are exhibited as pre-Hispanic vestiges, ceramics Castilian and Andalusian collections of numismatics, small idols, stone incisions, tools and primitive tools. The fortress is surrounded by a small beach of golden sand, which gives the place more beauty.
