About Triana
What are the main landmarks in Triana?
Walls and towers come first. The Castillo de Mata, the Castle of San Francisco, the Torre de Santa Ana and the surviving stretch of the Muralla de Las Palmas record the defensive ring that once held this side of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Churches sit inside it.
The Parroquia de San Francisco de Asís, the Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de los Dolores and the Hermitage of San Telmo appear on the same register, alongside an obelisk and the Gabinete Literario. Casa-Museo Pérez Galdós closes the list.
What is the history of Triana?
Defence shaped the plan. The Muralla de Las Palmas, the Castillo de Mata and the Castle of San Francisco belong to the period when Las Palmas de Gran Canaria was a walled town, and the Torre de Santa Ana carries that same age in its stonework. Letters came afterwards.
The Gabinete Literario and the Casa-Museo Pérez Galdós record the literary institutions that settled in Triana in later centuries, while the Hermitage of San Telmo and the Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de los Dolores hold the older devotional thread.
Where is Triana?
Triana takes up an inner stretch of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, ground once bounded by the Muralla de Las Palmas and still marked by the Torre de Santa Ana.
