La Oliva
La Oliva
A short drive northwest of Puerto del Rosario, the small town of La Oliva was once the mighty military center of the island. Its most beloved monument, the fanciful Casa de los Coroneles, survives as a testament to this privileged period when the top military officials made it their residence and ruled the island through a system of regional parishes tantamount to a feudal system. Other sites in La Oliva include the Parroquía de Nuestra Señora de Candelaría, and the Museo La Cilla Centro de Arte Canario Casa Mane, which houses a number of works of contemporary Canary artists including pieces by the well-respected native islander Alberto Manrique.
