    Las Palmas, Gran Canaria

    Las Palmas

    Mainland-Spain feel, spiced up with an eclectic mix of other cultures.

    Las Palmas de Gran Canaria was founded over 500 years ago and historical heritage is much in evidence in Vegueta, the oldest part of the city. At its centre are the twin towers of Santa Ana Cathedral. This was started in 1500 but not finished for almost four centuries, which explains the mix of Renaissance, Gothic and Neoclassical styles in its construction. In the Plaza Santa Ana are bronze statues of dogs – the Romans named the islands after legendary canines – as well as many original buildings. These include the 17th-century Palacio Regental, the Town Hall and the Bishop’s Palace.
    The Casa de Colón (Columbus House), so called because Christopher Columbus is said to have stayed here, is delightfully ornate, with latticed balconies and carved wooden ceilings. The Museo Canario has the largest collection of pre-Hispanic objects from the Canary Islands, dating from Roman times.
