St. Anne's Cathedral
Giving representation to different architectural styles (gothic, renaissance and neoclassical) due to the delay and therefore the duration of his work for centuries, this monumental building dominates the architectural ensemble that embraces one of the most important places of the island, and that takes the name of the patron saint of the city of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Santa Ana. Did you know that its enormous towers at the end of the FIFTEENTH century served to guide the ships approaching the waterfront of the city?
Columbus House
The Canary Islands due to its strategic situation, have always been an obligatory stop for merchants, explorers, pirates, and adventurers. The ocean currents as well as winds, facilitate navigation to the West. Of all is known that Christopher Columbus set out on 1492 expedition in search of a new route to the East Indies but, you may be surprised that the reason why it ended up on the coast of Gran Canaria was to repair the helm of one of their ships.
Literary cabinet
The Gabinete Literario has been an epicentre of cultural and social life of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, since the NINETEENTH century. In its elegant rooms and halls have been held countless events, literary and artistic, making it a meeting point for intellectuals and artists.
This iconic building is not only a point of reference in architectural and cultural, but also a space where history and literature are intertwined in a unique way. We want to emphasize especially the figure of Rafael Masanet, with Fernando Navarro, were the architects of this unique work. A distinguished promoter of cultural and literary whose legacy is still alive in this site.
