Nuestra Señora de las Angustias

In the town of Llanos de Aridane there is another of the town's outstanding temples, the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Las Angustias. This hermitage is located in the ravine that separates the jurisdiction of the Llanos de Aridane and Tijarafe. Its construction is simple, it is formed by a single nave and dates from the 16th century and it is considered to be one of the first religious constructions made by the Spanish conquistadors who came to the island of La Palma. It is worth mentioning the main altarpiece of the baroque style temple and the magnificent polychrome Flemish carving with iconography of La Piedad that holds his dead son is believed to have reached the island between 1515 and 1522. The altarpiece is of triple niche and was installed in the presbytery while the virgin was enthroned in the great central niche.
