Casa Montañés, San Cristóbal de La Laguna, Colonial mansion in San Cristóbal de La Laguna, Spain

The Casa Montañés features stone and clay walls, wooden ceilings, and galleries made of tea wood, with a coat of arms on its lintel.

Francisco Gabriel Montañés del Castillo y Machado, a cavalry sergeant major, commissioned the construction of this residence during the 18th century.

The building hosts the Canary Islands Consultative Council, serving as the only autonomous institution with an official headquarters in San Cristóbal de La Laguna.

Located at 16 San Agustín Street, the mansion includes three courtyards, with the main one featuring a stone fountain and a perimeter gallery.

The interior contains late 19th-century paintings by Marcelino Oraá y Cólogan, alongside original lamps and ornamental elements from different periods.
