Convento Santa Catalina La Laguna, Dominican convent in San Cristóbal de La Laguna, Spain.

The convent features a single-nave church with high and low choirs, displaying carved wooden viewpoints and Arabic-style roof tiles on its exterior.

Founded in 1606 by Juan de Cabrejas and María de Salas, the convent began operations in 1611 with four nuns arriving from Seville.

The main altarpiece showcases the Virgin of the Rosary alongside Saint Dominic of Guzman and Saint Catherine of Siena in detailed artistic representation.

Visitors can view the preserved body of María de León Bello, known as La Siervita, only on February 15th and the following Sunday.

The convent houses a museum dedicated to La Siervita, displaying personal items and paintings of this religious figure currently in beatification process.
