The Cathedral of La Laguna — officially the Cathedral of San Cristóbal de La Laguna — was founded in the 16th century on the site of an earlier church and rebuilt repeatedly over the following centuries. The current structure is largely 18th-century in the interior, with the neogothic west front added in the early 20th century. The interior is broad and well-proportioned, with carved wooden choir stalls, carved altarpieces, and the accumulated religious art of four centuries of island history.
The cathedral treasury holds a collection of religious silverware and vestments of considerable value; some pieces are among the oldest surviving examples of Spanish colonial craftsmanship in the islands. The building is open for visits most mornings and is in full liturgical use. The plaza in front, though not as grand as the Plaza del Adelantado a block away, is pleasant and lively with cafes on the surrounding streets.
