La Oliva
The village of La Oliva was formerly the home of the military
governors of the island between the 17th and mid-19th centuries.
The Governor's townhouse has been restored and is open to the
public. Also in the centre of the village is the pretty church of
Parroquiade Nuestra Seiiora de Candelaria, with a square bell tower
and finely carved wooden door. The interior of the church features
a painting of the Last Judgment, a baroque altar painting by Juan
de Miranda and some wonderful trompe l'oeil work. The village also
has an art centre exhibiting the work of Canarian artists.
