From a constructive point of view, the most valuable feature is on the main fa\u00e7ade, which was rebuilt and extended in the 18th century. The centre is taken up by a large doorway framed by a semi-circular arch that rests on carved stone pilasters. The keystone features the relief of a cross on a small plaque with the date of reconstruction (1759). It has a gable roof and the fa\u00e7ade is crowned on the corners by symmetrical bell gables with openings for the bells.<\/p>\n
The only nave inside the temple is completely bare and has no transverse arch to separate the main chapel from the rest of the church. A collar beam coffered ceiling runs through the whole building. Two flights of steps raise over the floor.<\/p>\n[\/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]\n
The first one, met as soon as one walks through the main doorway, consists of three steps that separate a small landing; this is not a very usual case and it is a reminder of the extension the temple underwent in the 18th century, when the fa\u00e7ade was forwarded towards the Plaza del Adelantado. The second flight of steps leads to the main chapel.<\/p>\n
At the apse a modern stone niche refers to the place where the former altarpiece with the image of the saint used to stand.<\/p>\n
It is currently used as an art exhibition centre by San Crist\u00f3bal de La Laguna Town Council.<\/p>\n
On 17 December 1999 it was designated Cultural Heritage Asset, under the Monument category<\/p>\n[\/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]JTNDaWZyYW1lJTIwc3JjJTNEJTIyaHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZ3d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbSUyRm1hcHMlMkZlbWJlZCUzRnBiJTNEJTIxMW0xOCUyMTFtMTIlMjExbTMlMjExZDM1MDYuNzM1NzYzMDIyOTM0NCUyMTJkLTE2LjMxNTA5NTI4NDcyMDM1NyUyMTNkMjguNDg3NTAzMjk3MzgwMzgyJTIxMm0zJTIxMWYwJTIxMmYwJTIxM2YwJTIxM20yJTIxMWkxMDI0JTIxMmk3NjglMjE0ZjEzLjElMjEzbTMlMjExbTIlMjExczB4YzQxY2RiODQ1OTJkMGQxJTI1M0EweDhiYjk3ZWNmZGVkNGRlMzIlMjEyc0VybWl0YSUyQmRlJTJCU2FuJTJCTWlndWVsJTIxNWUwJTIxM20yJTIxMXNlcyUyMTJzZXMlMjE0djE1NTE0NDk1MTE2NjUlMjIlMjB3aWR0aCUzRCUyMjEyMDAlMjIlMjBoZWlnaHQlM0QlMjI1MzAlMjIlMjBmcmFtZWJvcmRlciUzRCUyMjAlMjIlMjBzdHlsZSUzRCUyMmJvcmRlciUzQTAlMjIlMjBhbGxvd2Z1bGxzY3JlZW4lM0UlM0MlMkZpZnJhbWUlM0U=[\/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=”618″ alignment=”center” animation=”Fade In” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
