Parque Cultural Viera y Clavijo

Parque Cultural Viera y Clavijo is a park in Santa Cruz de Tenerife that features a neo-Gothic church building, native plant species, a children's playground, and Joan Miró's Femme Bouteille sculpture. The grounds contain distinct zones offering different reasons to visit and spend time.

The park began in 1903 when Belgian nuns built a neo-Gothic church that was later converted into a venue for conferences and exhibitions. This transformation reflects how the site adapted to serve different community needs over time.

The Theater Pérez Minik hosts performances and educational events that draw people interested in arts and learning. This venue shapes how locals and visitors engage with cultural programming in the city.

The park is walkable and invites exploration of its various zones, from the playground to the artworks on display. Visitors should check ahead as some facilities may not always be available, so planning ahead helps make the most of a visit.

The neo-Gothic church is the only structure of this architectural style in Santa Cruz de Tenerife and reflects Belgian influence from the city's early period. Today it serves as an exhibition space, allowing visitors to experience this distinctive architectural character firsthand.
