Iglesia Matriz San Pedro de Cañar
Najboljši čas za obisk
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.
Nasveti za proračun
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.
Priporočeno za
Lovers of Baroque art, Photographers looking for different shots, Families with children, Travelers eager for local customs

O znamenitosti
Hitre informacije: Cedrov oltar v notranjosti žari od pozlate v devetih plasteh tudi takrat, ko gorijo samo sveče. Zakristija skriva 46 srebrnih kelihov, od katerih najstarejši nosi vgravirano leto 1652 in je star več kot 370 let.
Poudarki: Pred žetvijo koruze župljani tri dni prižigajo po 33 sveč pred kipom zavetnika, običaj, zapisan v matične knjige že v 18. stoletju. V zahodni stranski kapeli se odpre edinstven pogled na terase, ki so jih izklesali predniki, zato se v jesenskih žarkih vse odene v zlato.
Notranji nasveti
- 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.
