In the early 19th century, Crist\u00f3bal Bencomo, confessor of King Fernando VII, promotes the reconstruction of a new temple. He used the plans of Pamplona Cathedral as a reference and Juan Nepomuceno Verdugo and Pedro D\u00edaz designed a new building that started to be erected in 1813. The present fa\u00e7ade dates from 1820. At the time, the four western islands were segregated from the Canarian Bishopric and La Laguna got a papal bull from Pius VII, to establish the Di\u00f3cesis Nivariense on 1 February 1818. It was then that the parish of Los Remedios was promoted to the rank of Cathedral.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”padding-3-percent” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]Between 1820 and 1897 the Cathedral underwent extensions and reforms until cracks on its pillars led to it being declared unsafe and was closed to the public. They chose to build a new temple with works stretching from 1904 to 1915, following the plans of engineer Jos\u00e9 Rodrigo de Vallabriga, which only kept the fa\u00e7ade of the previous building. Worth noting are the high rib vaults and the ambulatory.<\/p>\n
San Crist\u00f3bal de La Laguna Cathedral was designated national Historic-Artistic Monument Hist\u00f3rico Art\u00edstico on 5 October 1983. On 24 May 2007 the vault, dome and the top of the pillars lost their designation, which allowed the current refurbishing of the building to take place.\u00a0[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” equal_height=”yes” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_raw_html]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[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][image_with_animation image_url=”660″ alignment=”center” animation=”Fade In” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
