Catedral de Santa Ana
Cathedral in Vegueta, the main church of the Canaries and a Las Palmas symbol.
The cathedral of Santa Ana presides over the square of the same name in the historic Vegueta district of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. It is the main church of the Canary Islands, and its construction, begun in the early 16th century, continued for centuries, giving rise to a mix of Gothic, Renaissance and Neoclassical styles. Its towers, from which the old town can be admired, and its interior of palm-like columns make it the city's foremost monument.

Parque San Telmo
The oldest public park in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, on the edge of Triana and steps from its main shopping street. Inside stand the Ermita de San Telmo, a tiled modernist kiosk and a bandstand where the municipal band performs. Tall Indian laurels shade most of the square, and the central walk with its benches makes it a place to sit down in the middle of the city. The San Telmo bus interchange is right next door, so public transport leaves you at the gate.
