Iglesia de San Juan Bautista

In the center of San Juan de la Rambla is the church of San Juan Bautista, a rather unique building dating from the first half of the 16th century.

Like many of the temples that can be seen on the island, its construction was carried out little by little over a period of about 50 years, these extensions were carried out depending on both the needs and the the possibilities of the parishioners. The growth of the church of San Juan Bautista has gone hand in hand with the growth of the population, perhaps the most delicate moment was lived in 1797 when the temple had to be completely rebuilt after the passage of a devastating hurricane

The church of San Juan Bautista is made up of two naves of one floor, the main nave wider, with a presbytery and rectangular collateral chapels.

With regard to the roof it is of Mudejar style, with knuckle in the main nave, with double braces and laceria ornaments. In the old nave you can see the chapels of Rosario and Misericordia that still have their own coffered ceiling, with masonry walls and doors and windows with stone moldings. The façade is topped with stone arches right at the entrance.
