If you’re in La Laguna, don’t miss the Iglesia de la Concepción — the first church built in Tenerife, dating back to 1511. It’s absolutely breathtaking and immaculate, and you can truly feel the Lord’s presence as soon as you step inside. The bell tower tour is a must and costs only two euros; the views over the old town are stunning. A peaceful and unforgettable stop for anyone visiting the area.

You should definitely visit this church – it is a beautiful historic monument.
Inside, you can admire impressive works of art from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, which give the place a unique character and sense of history.
The experience was made even better by a very kind and welcoming man from the church staff, who was friendly and helpful towards visitors.
A must-see if you are in La Laguna.

The view from the tower is excellent! Ticket (€2) for both the tower and church is quite cheap compared to other attractions nearby.

A beautiful 16th-century Roman Catholic church with a charming bell tower that offers incredible views of the city! It’s a must-visit, as it was the first temple founded in Tenerife and served as a model for other churches on the island. The ticket is very affordable, just €2, and the climb to the top of the tower is absolutely worth it for the stunning panoramic views. Highly recommend this historical gem in La Laguna!

This church is located in the historic district of La Laguna. I recommend you to go up the tower because it has a nice view of the city, just don't do it during the bell because it's loud and it happens every 15 minutes :).
For tourists, the entrance to the tower and the church costs 2 euros. If you are a student there is a discount, but I don't remember how much

Only 2 euro entrance for tower and church. You buy tickets at the base of tower. It was not very busy. The church is very pretty inside with silver alter pieces and lovely stained glass windows. Their is a lots of beautiful carved woodwork. The pulpit is rather impressive as are the different ceilings. Some look to be carved in 3d and very colourful. The church is in a very good state of repair and very well kept. Their is a donation box by the exit. The tower climb is not easy as steps are very deep and steep and spiral at the top but their is handrails and nice views over the city on all sided and mountains. The bells ring every 15 mins so if you dont like loud noises try to avoid those times. Good value for money and well worth visiting we thought as took a good while to do both.

Nice plaza with old church. Many small restorans and puba around. Good area to walk as there are many pedestrians only roads. Good place to hang around and have artisan beers. One of the streets is full of shops so you can kill your time easily.

The Church tower is unique and visible from far away, mainly because it is made from black volcanic rock. Church itself is very nice.
