Iglesia de San Pedro Arriba

About Iglesia de San Pedro Arriba

The Church of San Pedro de Arriba in the municipality of Güímar, island of Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain) is a simple construction of a square trend, about 45 m2, with masonry walls and four-tile roof of Arab tile. Its most representative element is the large half-point doorway in stonework.

As an extension of the façade, there is an alpende of wood supported by thin pillars of identical material and covered with corrugated sheet metal. Inside, the mural paintings, made at the end of the 19th century by the Madrid painter Ubaldo Bordanova Moreno, represent the Theological Virtues, the symbols of La Pasión and the arms of the chapel's owner.

In the interior, the movable patrimony is formed by:
- Table of the Chair of San Pedro, anonymous of the XVIII century, that for a long time presided over the chapel. It belonged to the old altarpiece of the same, but its deterioration forced to retire it. The painting was restored by Elisa Campos Domínguez in 1995.
- Carving of San Pedro, known as the Chiquito made in 1956 by the Orotavan imager Ezequiel de León.
- Talla del Señor Attached to the Column arrived, made in 1960 by a workshop of the Valencian artist Miguel Espuig, which follows the Pedro Roldán model from Seville that is in the church of San Juan de La Orotava.
- Carving of the Virgin of the Waters, image of dress executed by the Cordovan sculptor Francisco Romero Zafra in 2006.

The environment of protection welcomes a terrera house and a pair of buildings of two plants, between those that stand out the one located in front of the square, with symmetrical arrangement of bays in the façade, mixed windows of bearings and windows and covered with tiles to four waters. Opposite the chapel, the square is the setting for various events during the patron saint's festivities.

On June 27 of the even years, the images of San Pedro and San Pablo go in procession from the Parroquia Matriz de San Pedro to the Chapel, adorned with a bow of fruits and paper decorations made by neighbors, accompanied by the Dance of Cintas de San Pedro Arriba. The images spend the night in the Chapel, from where they return on June 28 to the Mother Church to celebrate the main day, June 29.
