Catedral de San Cristóbal de La Laguna
Catedral de San Cristóbal de La Laguna · Tenerife
Por Spain ·
In 1819, when the Diocese of Nivariense was separated from the Bishopric of the Canary Islands, it adopted the Church of Los Remedios as its seat, and it thus became a cathedral.
It was built on the site of a chapel dating from 1511. In 1515, work began on a Mudejar-style church. In the 17th century, specifically in 1618, Bishop Antonio Carrionero commissioned the construction of the church’s tower, and in the 18th century, several chapels were built inside.
The current building, in the Neo-Gothic style, was constructed between 1904 and 1915. It has three naves with ribbed vaults. The right-hand tower was built in 1916. The façade is a reconstruction dating from 1825, in the Neoclassical style.
