Iglesia de la Concepción, Catholic church in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain
The Iglesia de la Concepción features a Latin cross layout with five naves, side chapels, and a dome-covered transept within its colonial architecture.
Construction of the church began in 1500, replacing an initial hermitage built by Spanish conquistadors after their landing on the Añazo coast.
The church holds the Founding Cross brought by Alonso Fernández de Lugo and contains numerous tombstones of notable figures from the city's history.
Visitors can examine the 1862 Bevington and Sons organ, representing a prime example of 19th-century English organ craftsmanship inside the church.
The structure stands as the only five-nave church in the Canary Islands and contains a relic fragment from the cross of Jesus Christ.
