Previously a prison, then a town hall, nowadays
it is a place for thinking
Do you know this
illustrious
gentleman?
Municipal Library Old Quarter San Miguel
Even though it is not a confirmed fact, it is though that
this building was constructed over 200years ago and
used as the first San Miguel town hall in 1789, where the
lobby was used as a prison. Took place at the church
square. This building used to have a porch which was
before the town hall was moved here in the thirties.
The building was approved to be used as a school and
as an academy for higher education, at the same time it
was used as a home for several inhabitants of the town,
until in 1979 it opened its doors as a public library, a
function it still maintains.

House of Juan
Bethencourt Alfonso Old Quarter San Miguel
Juan Bethencourt Alfonso was principally characterised for his
work in historic and anthropological investigations from which
we obtained many of the facts of our aborigine culture enabling
us to decipher the guanche world. His work has been compared
to Darwin's. Tylor 's or Broca's work; this is confirmed by the
fact that the first guanche corpses found in Barranco Hondo,
Tenerife, are in the Paris Museum of Anthropology. These
corpses were sent there by Bethencourt Alfonso. His work,
“Historia del pueblo Guanche” ( History of the Guanche Village)
was finished one year before his death in 1912.

Museo Casa El Capitán Old Quarter San Miguel

The House of the Captain is situated in a part of the historical
centre known as El Calvario.. It maintains a close history to
the Alfonso family who built it and used it as their residence
at the end of the nineteenth century. One of the descendants
of the family, Miguel Alfonso Martinez achieved the highest
rank in the military within the municipality. This is from where
the house receives its name.
It is a traditional Canarian house with a central patio which
is connected to all of the rooms. It also has a cellar used to
store wine, a barn and a warehouse.

Old Quarter San Miguel
The parish church is built over an old hermitage from 1665. It was
finished in 1874, even though work continued in the following
years. This building shows typical characteristics of the churches
of the late Baroque period, in which Canarian raw materials were
used to build it and a simple layout was used comprising a main
building connected to the chapels on the sides.
In this church you can find St Michael Arcangel,
St Joseph, Jesus Christ, St Hohn and many
more representations.
Rectangular building, with a roof on three different levels. It
was built at the end of the nineteenth century. Straight lines
are emphasized over curves. Its front wall is big compared
to the size of the whole building, where
you can see a semicircular arc made
with volcanic rock.
In the sides of the building you can
find strips of rock which serve as
columns and are decorated. There
are also two spaces, one at each
side of the building, which have two
smaller columns which are also
decorated making the wall bigger.
As you can see this building is decorated with several architectural
patterns.
Built in the twenties, this structure reproduces the characteristics
of Brazilian architecture, unusual in south Tenerife. It is composed
of a blue house with 2 storeys and a cellar surrounded by an
exterior corridor.
The house was built over its own pond, from which the house
got its water. The original décor has not been preserved as
the house was inhabited in 1939 and its interior decoration
was not kept the same. Then the house was modified when
the town hall was moved into it.
The new town hall was opened on the 2nd of March 1974.

Exhibitions Room “ El Aljibe”
Old Quarter San Miguel
The exhibitions room “ El Aljibe” can be found inside the water
deposit of the Blue House, currently the Town hall. This was
a very useful room as the house was able to have its own water,
something very unusual in those times.
After 30 years without use, the room was rebuilt to provide
an exhibitions room open to the public in which we can admire
several types of art apart from admiring the structure of
the house based on Brazilian architecture.
