At the southern end of the municipality of Yaiza, in the area known as "El Rubicón", the first European settlement of the Canary Islands was established in 1402, from where the Conquest of the Archipelago began.

In that place was the Cathedral of San Marcial de Limoges, patron saint of Lanzarote and compatron of the Canarian Diocese.1 This cathedral was destroyed by English pirates in the sixteenth century and is currently located in Femés, the Chapel of San Marcial de Limoges dedicated to this saint.

[6] Yaiza is on the edge of the area buried by the volcanic eruptions that took place in Lanzarote between 1730 and 1736, which gave rise to the Timanfaya National Park.

Precisely, the fundamental chronicle of the eruptions was narrated by the then parish priest of Yaiza, Andrés Lorenzo Curbelo.
