Part of the rich land of Bañaderos and San Andrés belonged, thanks to conquest rights, to Bartolomé Páez, who soon covered them with sugar cane plantations and supposedly built St. Andrew’s Chapel.

The most important architecture is found in the vicinity of Plaza de San Andrés, at the heart of the district. This area, built around 1975, was deigned by versatile artist, and a Favourite Son of the City, Santiago Santana. As a loyal native-oriented painter, his architecture reveals his interest for everything popular. He chooses simple buildings that blend with the landscape, using local materials such as smooth, flat beach stones and local quarry stone. The square has recently been enhanced by a bronze sculpture by artist Santiago Vargas, of great realism and expressive power, as a tribute to the work done by Reverend Domingo Báez González in the construction of the Church and Parish House.

St. Andrew’s Church rises in harmony with its surroundings. It consists of balanced, clean volumes, crowned by the bell tower. It contains outstanding paintings by Santiago Santana, especially on the main altar, depicting scenes from St. Andrew’s life: Elección de San Andrés y San Pedro and Martirio del Santo, loyal testimony of the seafaring devotion both of St. Andrew and of Bañaderos.
