Church of San Andrés, Catholic church in San Andrés, Tenerife, Spain.
The Church of San Andrés stands at the base of the Anaga mountains, featuring a main altar and two side chapels with religious sculptures.
The church structure, completed in 1680, replaced an original chapel built between 1505 and 1510 by Don Lope de Salazar after the Spanish conquest.
The church houses a wooden sculpture of Saint Andrew and the Santo Cristo del Cegato, an orange wood crucifix carved by a blind sculptor in 1882.
Located 7 kilometers northeast of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, the church remains an active place of worship with regular mass services throughout the week.
One of the church bells reportedly came from Admiral Horatio Nelson's fleet during the failed British invasion attempt of Tenerife in 1797.
