Real Santuario del Cristo de La Laguna

The Real Santuario del Cristo de La Laguna features a long narrow nave measuring 46 meters in length with a prominent silver altarpiece against the back wall.

The church construction began in 1580 under the direction of Alonso Fernández de Lugo, establishing one of the first Christian religious sites on Tenerife island.

The sanctuary houses the venerated Cristo de La Laguna wooden statue, crafted in Flanders during the 16th century, which receives regular visits from devotees.

The sanctuary opens daily from 8:30 AM to 9:00 PM with extended hours on Fridays starting at 7:30 AM, offering multiple masses throughout the day.

The church displays one of only two exact replicas of the Shroud of Turin in Spain, installed in 2014 through the Spanish Center of Sindonology.
