Mother Parish of the Apostle Santiago, Roman Catholic parish church in Los Realejos, Spain.
The church building features three naves with separate roofs, a tower added in 1714, and chapels positioned on both sides of the presbytery.
The initial structure, established in 1496 by Alonso Fernández de Lugo, served as the first Christian church on the island of Tenerife.
Nine Guanche kings received baptism in this church on July 25, 1496, marking a significant moment in the religious transformation of Tenerife.
The church remains an active place of worship within the Roman Catholic Diocese of San Cristóbal de La Laguna with limited wheelchair accessibility.
The north face displays a Jacobean doorway from 1570, carved by Juan Benítez, representing early architectural craftsmanship in the Canary Islands.
