Iglesia de San Marcos Evangelista

What to see and do Churches and Cathedrals

The Church of San Marcos Evangelista stands in the historic center of Agulo, one of the smallest and best-preserved villages in La Gomera. Located on Plaza Leoncio Bento, it forms part of the religious and architectural heritage of this coastal town in the north of the island.

The church has undergone restoration, allowing you to appreciate its traditional Canarian architecture. Inside, it retains devotional elements typical of Gomeran parish churches, including carved wooden ceilings and a main altar dedicated to Saint Mark. From the surrounding square, you can observe the characteristic urban layout of Agulo, with cobblestone streets and whitewashed houses.

The church's setting places you in the heart of a historic quarter declared a Site of Cultural Interest, surrounded by vegetation and with views of the Atlantic Ocean from several nearby points. Agulo preserves a distinctive architectural fabric that reflects the history of La Gomera's rural settlements.
