Iglesia Matriz San Pedro de Cañar
Nejlepší čas k návštěvě
On Sunday mornings, a visit can best be combined with mass and the opening of the big market, so everything gets done in the same morning. In the early hours, the light through the rose window falls exactly on the altar, which is the most beautiful moment for photographing the interior.
Tipy pro rozpočet
Entry is free all year round, and a donation of one to two dollars is left for candles and maintenance of the bells. At the Sunday market nearby, you will find the cheapest corn bread, so combine shopping with your visit and cover part of your lunch cost.
Doporučeno pro
Lovers of Baroque art, Photographers looking for different shots, Families with children, Travelers eager for local customs

O atrakcí
Rychlá fakta: Cedrový oltář v interiéru září zlacením v devíti vrstvách, i když hoří jen svíčky. Sakristie ukrývá 46 stříbrných kalichů, z nichž nejstarší nese vyrytý rok 1652 a je starý více než 370 let.
Zajímavosti: Před sklizní kukuřice farníci po tři dny zapalují po 33 svíčkách před sochou patrona, zvyk zapsaný v matričních knihách už v 18. století. Ze západní boční kaple se otevírá jedinečný výhled na terasy, které vytesali předkové, a v podzimních paprscích se vše zahalí do zlaté barvy.
Insider tipy
- Wear comfortable shoes, the stone pavement is slippery in the rainy season, and the bell tower stairs are steep and narrow.
- The best photo is taken from halfway up the bell tower stairs about an hour before sunset, when the rooftops turn red in the last light.
- Skip Wednesday afternoon, as the interior is closed then due to a big cleaning after mass.
- Bring your own bottle of water because there is no fountain in the square, the nearest one is about a ten-minute walk toward the stream.
