Basilica of San Juan Bautista, Minor basilica in Telde, Spain
The Basilica of San Juan Bautista displays Gothic architectural elements with pointed arches, stone craftsmanship, and a medieval portal with decorative spheres.
Construction of the current basilica began in 1484 under Cristóbal García del Castillo, who funded the main chapel and donated an altarpiece from Flanders.
The church holds multiple wooden sculptures by José Luján Pérez, including works of Saint Peter of Verona and Saint John the Evangelist.
Located in Plaza de San Juan near the historic San Francisco district, the basilica received its minor basilica designation from Pope Paul VI in 1973.
The Cristo de Telde, created by Mexican indigenous artisans between 1550 and 1555, stands out for its light weight due to specific manufacturing techniques.
