Cathedral of La Laguna

The Cathedral of La Laguna combines a Neoclassical facade with Gothic Revival architecture, featuring three naves and ribbed vaults beneath a height of 41.5 meters.

The construction began in 1511 with a hermitage, followed by a larger church in 1515, before its elevation to cathedral status in 1818 during the Nivar diocese separation.

The cathedral houses a collection of Byzantine icons, religious sculptures, and precious metalwork pieces within its museum, representing centuries of religious artistry from the Canary Islands.

Located at Plaza de Nuestra Señora de los Remedios, the cathedral provides audio guides for visitors and maintains complete accessibility through wheelchair ramps and facilities.

Built between 1904 and 1915, this cathedral incorporated concrete and polypropylene fibers in its structure, making it among the few cathedrals worldwide using these modern materials.
