Cathedral of San Cristóbal de La Laguna

About the place

La Laguna's cathedral is a young building with a long lineage: a chapel stood here as early as 1511 and the diocese took its seat in 1819, yet the present church went up only in 1904–1915 — neo-Gothic naves behind a Neoclassical façade of 1820. Its 41.5-metre dome is the highest point of the UNESCO-listed old town. Inside, the main shrine is the Chapel of the Virgin of Los Remedios.
