Iglesia de San José Santa Cruz de Tenerife

The Iglesia de San José is a church building in the neoclassical style located near the Rambla in central Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The structure features two bell towers on its front facade and sits along Méndez Núñez Street.

Construction of the building was completed in 1930 under architect José Enrique Marrero Regalado, who applied neoclassical design principles throughout. This architectural completion shaped the city center during a period when Santa Cruz was developing its modern appearance.

This church honors Saint Joseph and contains religious statues that hold meaning for worshippers who visit throughout the year. The interior arrangement reflects traditional Catholic devotion practices that are still observed today.

The church sits next to the Rambla and is easy to reach from the city center; the interior is open to visitors who wish to explore. Regular services take place, so visiting at other times allows for a more peaceful visit.

Every first Friday of March, red carnations specially decorate the altar in honor of the Christ of Medinaceli statue. This annual tradition reveals how deeply local devotion connects to this particular figure.
