In the historic heart of Garachico, the Ex-Convento de San Julián stands as a living testament to Canarian cultural heritage. Founded in the 17th century by Captain Julián Moreno Cutiño for the Augustinian order, this historic building on Esteban de Ponte street has successfully reinvented itself over the centuries, becoming today a cultural space hosting contemporary art exhibitions and museum functions.

Just steps from the Franciscan Conceptionist Convent, this former religious site together with the adjoining Casa Soler form an architectural ensemble that narrates fundamental chapters of the coastal town's history. Its privileged location allows visitors to walk from the parking area while enjoying a pleasant stroll through the cobblestone streets of the historic center. As a cultural center and heritage landmark, the Ex-Convento de San Julián represents an essential stop for those wishing to discover the historical and artistic essence of Garachico, offering a fascinating dialogue between its conventual past and contemporary artistic expression.
