The Basics

Sightseeing tours of Santa Cruz often include a photo stop at the landmark church and its most striking feature is its Baroque-style bell tower, which can be spotted from all over the city. Inside, the ornate interiors include a silver altarpiece, intricate Mudéjar-style tilework, and artworks by Cristóbal Hernández de Quintana and Cristóbal Ramírez. The highlight is the 15th-century cross after which the city of Santa Cruz was named—erected by Alonso Fernandez de Lugo, it marked the Spanish conquest of Tenerife and the founding of the Christian city.
