Church of Nuestra Señora de la Peña de Francia, Puerto de la Cruz, Catholic church in Puerto de la Cruz, Spain.

The Church of Nuestra Señora de la Peña de Francia displays three naves divided by Tuscan columns with round arches and a rectangular layout.

Built on the site of a former chapel, the church construction was completed in 1697 through financial contributions from local middle-class trades people.

The interior contains four canvases by Puerto painter Luis de la Cruz y Ríos and a Genoese Madonna statue that dates from 1621.

The church remains open to visitors daily from 8:30 AM to 7 PM, with free admission and regular weekend classical music concerts.

The Madonna statue wears a cape given by Cuban poet Dulce María Loynaz, recipient of the 1992 Cervantes Prize.
