1. Iglesia de San Marcos Evangelista
Places of Worship

In the town of Agulo on the island of La Gomera is the Church of San Marcos Evangelista. It was previously a chapel and was founded in 160, the initiative, as in many of the churches of the island, arises from the residents of the population interested in having a place of worship. Until 1735 it was not called a church, after some works that transformed it into a more complete temple. At the beginning of the 20th century the church was demolished and rebuilt, giving rise to the building that can be visited today. The person in charge of the last remodeling was the architect Antonio Pintor who designed a Neo-Gothic style building that gave rise to the way we know it today.

Among the remarkable sculptures that can be found in the temple is the image of the Virgen de La Merced and of course San Marcos Evangelista. The church attracts a lot of attention since it has semicircular covers, with the silver Neogothic chalice that was a gift that the King Alfonso XIII made to the population of Agulo.

5. Iglesia de la Asunción
Places of Worship
The Mother Parish of Our Lady of the Assumption is the main parish of the town of San Sebastián de La Gomera, capital of the island of La Gomera (Canary Islands, Spain) and the mother church of the whole island.
The church has its origins in a hermitage built in the 15th century, time of which its current central nave belongs. In the eighteenth century it was enlarged several times due to the English attacks and the North African pirates. The original building was erected in the time of the first Hernán Peraza.
The current church blends in harmony the Mudejar, Gothic and Baroque styles. Its facade has a central body for the main entrance in red tuff and two side doors in white stone. The great reform suffered by the building is in the second half of the eighteenth century building the Chapel of the Pillar, which represents the triumph of the gomeros over the invaders, highlighting the fresco of the wall that reflects the attempted invasion, by the English admiral Charles Windhan in 1743.
Every five years the Church of the Assumption welcomes the image of the Virgin of Guadalupe (patron saint of La Gomera), during her lustral descent.
