Santo Domingo Art Galery

The Santo Domingo Convent founded in 1698 by Captain Rodriguez Carrasco. Once inside the convent, visitors will see two large naves separated by four arches distinguished by their red and black stonework.

The main altarpiece of the original chapel dedicated to Our lady of Grace has survived over time as has the stone altarpiece dedicated to the virgin of Rosario, the Dominican Order’s Patron Saint.

This chapel is also the only place in Lanzarote whre we can find a retrochoir featuring painted murals, although it has deteriorated quite badly with the ravages of time. Nowadays this historical building forms the backtrop for different contemporany art exhibitions.
