Casco histórico de Icod de los Vinos
A Historic Site listed as a Bien de Interés Cultural under Decree 142/2004. Compact and remarkably well preserved: an hour or two on foot links Plaza de la Pila, San Marcos church, the former San Francisco convent and Calle San Sebastián.
Iglesia de San Marcos Evangelista
Icod's mother church, born as a chapel in the 16th century and extended into the 19th. Listed as a Monument in 2006. It holds a monumental 47 kg silver filigree cross made in Havana in 1665, considered the largest known work of filigree.
Drago Milenario
The largest and oldest known dragon tree of its species, Dracaena draco, and the symbol of Icod. Declared a National Monument in 1917. You can glimpse it free from the square; the full visit is through the Parque del Drago.
