Iglesia de San Agustín

The Church of San Agustín is a temple belonging to the population of Icod de los Vinos in Tenerife, it is declared of interest patrimonial and is located in the urban center of the municipality. The church of San Agustín belonged to the first convent that was founded in Icod by the order of Los Agustinos. The temple dates from the year 1585 and you can see the two family stands on either side of the entrance door, something unique and exclusive in the temples of the Canarian archipelago. There are two altarpieces, one of Baroque style and another of Rococo style that can be seen inside the church, although not at the head of the temple.

The Church of San Agustín is not a normal temple, in addition to these two altarpieces located on both sides we must speak of two arches built in bricks, the reason why they were used These materials may be due to the lack of resources of the Augustinian monks or the presence of Portuguese in the area who were quite used to working with this type of building materials.
