Church of Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, Catholic church in Teguise, Spain.

The Church of Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe is a house of worship in central Teguise built with simple stone walls and traditional Spanish religious design. The structure shows honest lines and modest decoration, displaying typical features of colonial Canary Islands architecture.

Construction began in the first half of the 15th century, marking the arrival of Catholicism during the early colonial expansion in the Canary Islands. The building endured through centuries as a religious symbol of this transformation.

The church is the mother parish of Lanzarote and holds the island's most important ecclesiastical heritage. Its main altar chapel houses the Virgin of Guadalupe, patron saint of Teguise, flanked by San Marcial and San Pedro Apóstol. The San Pedro image was brought from Garachico on Tenerife, and the church keeps one of the finest Canarian paintings of the Cristo de La Laguna.

The building sits on the main road through Teguise and is easily reached on foot, with parking available nearby. Visitors should check local opening hours and be respectful if services are taking place during their visit.

The original image of the Virgin of Guadalupe, attributed to a 15th-century Sevillian sculptor, was brought to the island by Diego García de Herrera; it was stolen in a pirate raid and taken to Algiers, so the image venerated today is a copy. The tower gained an extra prism in the 1914 rebuilding, making it the tallest building in Teguise.
