From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The church of San Ginés.

San Ginés is a church in Arrecife, Lanzarote, Canary Islands, Spain. Originally the location of a hermitage built in 1574 that contained images of Saint Peter and Saint Ginés, it was flooded and completely rebuilt in 1667. It was expanded in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.[1] Saint Ginés (Saint Genesius of Clermont) is Arrecife's patron saint.[2] Mass is celebrated every evening, including Saturdays, Sundays and holydays, at 7.30 p.m. There are additional Masses at weekends and on feast days.[3] The tower of the Church of San Ginés was inspired by the bell tower of the Church of La Concepción of Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
