Church of Nuestra Señora de la Concepción in La Orotava

Tenerife

Colonial style.


Its origins date back to 1516, with the construction of a chapel which was extended on several occasions. It was here that the celebrations marking the proclamation of Charles V took place on 22 June 1516. Following the earthquakes caused by the Güímar volcano, it lay in ruins. The current building works began around 1768 and were completed in 1788. It was designated a national monument in 1948. Inside, it consists of three spacious naves with imposing columns. On the outside, the two bell towers, each 24 metres high, are particularly striking.
