Santuario del Cristo de La Laguna
The Franciscan sanctuary in San Cristóbal de La Laguna that guards the image of the Cristo de La Laguna, one of the most venerated crucifixes in the Canary Islands.
The Royal Sanctuary of the Santísimo Cristo de La Laguna stands on Plaza de San Francisco in San Cristóbal de La Laguna, Tenerife, and incorporates a historic convent. It is the seat of the Pontificia, Real y Venerable Esclavitud del Santísimo Cristo de La Laguna, a public association of the faithful devoted to Christian life and works of piety.
The complex preserves a notable heritage of religious imagery and sacred-art painting, and houses a Museum of Sacred Art and a gift shop. Throughout the year it hosts worship and liturgical celebrations, as well as processions that stand out during Holy Week and the Fiestas del Cristo de La Laguna, together with cultural, heritage and social-action events.

Casa Museo Cayetano Gómez Felipe
An eighteenth century Canarian townhouse on Plaza de la Concepción in La Laguna, right beside the bell tower of the Concepción church and inside the UNESCO listed old town. It was the family home of the collector Cayetano Gómez Felipe (1902-1978), who filled it with objects from everyday island life. The rooms open onto a courtyard with wooden galleries, and the collection is shown in the very spaces it was gathered for. Easy to reach on foot, since most of the historic centre is pedestrian.
