It sits 600 metres above sea level at the foot of a mountain known as <em>Meseta de La Escalona<\/em>. It is the <strong>capital of the Arona municipality<\/strong> and is the centre of political and administrative power in this municipality.<\/p>\n<p>Arona\u2019s old town is small but well worth a visit, with a <strong>traditional atmosphere<\/strong>, cobbled streets, and architecture with great ethnographic value. There are great examples of traditional rural architecture, both public and stately. The highlights of the old town include the Church of San Antonio Abad, the council house and the El Calvario building, among others.<\/p><div id=\"goten-3631249048\" class=\"goten-content_2 goten-entity-placement\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-0088719563045673\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0088719563045673\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<h2>A bit of history<\/h2>\n<p>Europeans disembarked in the south of Tenerife <strong>around 1496<\/strong>, when what is now Arona existed as a small community of indigenous residents. But the story of modern Arona did not start until 1625, when Ant\u00f3n Dom\u00ednguez \u201c<em>El Viejo<\/em>\u201d (<em>The Old<\/em>) and his son, the Castillian owners of these lands, built their residence where you can now find the <em>Casas de Altavista<\/em>, and also began the construction of the <strong>San Antonio Abad chapel<\/strong>. This chapel, which is now a Church, was the point around which the town centre of Arona was built. Until then, Arona had been under the jurisdiction of <a href=\"https:\/\/gotenerife.net\/en\/explore\/vilaflor\/\">Vilaflor<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Places of Interest in Arona:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/gotenerife.net\/en\/explore\/san-antonio-abad-church\/\"><strong>Church of San Antonio Abad<\/strong><\/a>.

The old town of Arona surrounds this religious centre.<\/li>\n<li><strong>El Calvario<\/strong>. A Catholic architectural site which is used for the recreation of the evangelical texts of the Passion, Death, and Resurrection of Christ.

It is built from stone and was in use until 1955.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Casa de los Baute<\/strong>. One of the best examples of traditional Canarian architecture in Arona.
