The Sociedad Musical Santa Cecilia commissioned the architect Manuel de Oráa to design a concert hall and a music academy. The ceiling painting still contains the names of musicians who at the time were very popular with the concert audience. Despite the income from numerous benefit concerts, the music association stopped making payments to the companies involved in the construction due to insolvency. The hall was then converted into a meeting room for the city assembly. To do this, the stage had to be removed and the auditorium had to be fundamentally redesigned. In the years immediately after 1900, the artist Manuel Gonzalez Mendez created the paintings El desembarco and El Adelantado y los guanches, which are still on the front wall of the hall . From 1902 the “Mancomunidad de Cabildos Interinsulares” held its meetings here. With the ordinance of April 19, 1985, the Autonomous Government of the Canary Islands determined that the building should finally be converted into a plenary hall for the regional parliament.

Plaza hamlet
  • Plaza Weyler

Even before the law Del patrimonio histórico Español (On the Historical Heritage of Spain) was passed in 1985, Plaza Weyler was declared a Conjunto Histórico Artistico (Ensemble of Historical-Artistic Importance). The square is at the top of Calle Castillo, the city's main shopping street. Its current design dates from 1893. The Carrara marble fountain was installed in 1899.

In 1810, José Guezala Bignoni was commissioned by the city's mayor to find a place where the dead of the yellow fever epidemic could be buried. The possibilities of burying the dead in the Concepcion or San Telmo churches were exhausted. When the parish priest and the city commissioner for building matters visited the square on November 6, 1810, it was consecrated on the same day and four dead were buried. After a construction period of 13 years, the cemetery, which was subsequently divided into a Catholic and a Protestant area, was completed in 1823. In the area of ​​the evangelical dead, primarily the dead of the English community were buried. Today it is believed that around 700 people were buried in the cemetery, around 60% of whom are known, including some prominent personalities such as Sabin Berthelot .

Colegio de la Asunción
  • Antiguo Colegio de La Asunción

Educational institutions were lacking in Santa Cruz de Tenerife throughout the 19th century. This deficiency was largely remedied at the end of the century by private schools. At the turn of the century, however, there was still no school for the daughters of the upper classes. Therefore the city administration got in contact with various female religious communities. In 1903 a group from Belgium, the Religiosas agustinas de la Asunción, rented a building to give lessons there. The architect Mariano Estanga y Arias Girón was commissioned to create suitable accommodation for the school. Construction began in spring 1905. The construction site was at the intersection of what is now Avenida La Asunción and Avenida San Sebastián. In 1916 Antonio Pintor y Ocete took over the construction management. He changed the plans to build the chapel, which is the central element of the main facade. The changes, however, were not to the taste of the congregation. Therefore, in 1921, the architect Aguado from Madrid was commissioned to make further changes. School operations ceased in 1978. The building was used for exhibitions and congresses. The Antiguo Colegio de La Asunción has been closed for renovation work for several years. The building is surrounded by a park in which, since the first Exposición Internacional de Esculturas, the sculpture "Femme Bouteille" by Joan Miró has been displayed alongside other works of art.

Inner courtyard of the Palacio de Carta
  • Palacio de Carta

The building on the Plaza de la Candelaria is called the Palacio de Carta to distinguish it from the Casa Carta in the Plaza de la Iglesia and the Casa Carta in the Valle Guerra. Matías Rodríguez Carta and his wife María de la Concepcion Domínguez had the house they bought in the Plaza de la Pila (today Plaza de la Candelaria) built from scratch in 1721. The construction work dragged on for more than 30 years until 1752, although the building had been inhabited since 1742. It is believed that the construction plans came from the military engineer Francisco de la Pièrre. The woodwork in the courtyards was carried out by Bartolomé and Pedro Álvarez Ferrer from La Laguna. The Palacio is characterized in particular by a tower that is barely noticeable from the Plaza de la Candelaria and by the patios (inner courtyards), which have remarkable balconies and galleries made of wood. The building served as the home of the Carta family for a long time. It later became the Comandancia General and then the seat of the civil governor. After it had stood empty for a long time, renovation work was necessary, especially on the facade in the direction of Calle Bethencourt Afonso, which resulted in a changed appearance there. In 1956, a branch of Banco Español de Credito was established in the building. z. Currently (2013) the Palacio de Carta is empty and is only used occasionally for exhibitions. The building was placed under protection as a Monumento historico-artistico in 1947.

Casino de Tenerife
  • Casino de Tenerife

The association "Real Casino de Tenerife" was founded in 1840 as a kind of gentlemen's club . The association was dedicated to culture and recreation. After the casino was located in different buildings, always near today's Plaza de la Candelaria , construction of the new building began in 1930 on the north-eastern corner of Plaza de la Candelaria. Since the plan of an externally rationalist architecture was rejected by the members, the architect Miguel Martín Fernández de la Torre created a design that included facades in the style of eclecticism , but inside was shaped by rationalism. From 1935 both wings could be used. The renovations and alterations in 1954 did not result in any fundamental changes to the building. Particularly noteworthy are the wall paintings by Néstor Martín-Fernández de la Torre (the architect's brother) and José Aguiar, as well as a number of oil paintings by various artists from the 1930s. The building and the associated paintings were placed under protection as a cultural asset in 2006 under the number RI-51-0007420.

Casa Sixto Machado
  • Casa Sixto Machado

In 1914, Don Sixto Machado Pérez had a house built west of downtown Santa Cruz de Tenerife. It is believed that the plans came from the architect Mariano Estanga y Arias Girón. The building consists of two rectangular wings that meet at an obtuse angle. There is a tower at the top of the building. The tower shows features of the neo-Gothic style , especially in the pointed arched windows . The two wings of the building show a variety of historical elements from different eras. When the Casa Sixto Machado was entered in the list of cultural assets in 2001, there was only one ruin that could no longer be saved due to years of weathering after various fires. In 2003, the great-grandson of the first owner began securing the existing building, gutting and rebuilding it. Since no plans were available, one could only rely on the analysis of what was available, photos and reports from people who knew the building before it was destroyed. For the Chamber of Architects of the Canary Islands, the restoration is one of the most successful examples of monument protection. In 2001 the building was entered on the list of cultural assets under number ARI-51-0010603.

Casa Mascareño
  • Casa Mascareño

Casa Mascareño was designed by the architect José Blasco Robles at the end of 1934 on behalf of Carmelo Mascareño. The building, completed at the end of 1935, is an example of a rationalism related to the climate of the Canary Islands. The term form follows function was consistently implemented on this building in the sense that the Bauhaus architects understood it. The orientation according to the cardinal direction, the use of materials and the (then) environment were included in the planning. This is particularly evident in the terraces with sun roofs and the arrangement of the window openings and the lack of the local ornamental decorations. The building was placed under protection as a cultural asset in 2001 under the number RI-51-0010602. At that time, the Casa Mascareño was already a monument with walled-up openings and an unsuitable environment. The city of Santa Cruz de Tenerife is planning to restore the building and use it as a district office.

Masonic Temple
  • El Templo Masónico

The Masonic Temple of Santa Cruz de Tenerife is one of the few buildings of this type that survived the Franco era . The Añaza Masonic Lodge, founded in 1895, had it built at the beginning of the 20th century. In 1902 it was given its intended use. However, the facade was not completed until 1920. The architect was Manuel de Cámara. After the coup in Spain on July 18, 1936 and the ban on Freemasons, the Ministry of Defense took over the building and set up a branch of the military pharmacy there. The interior decoration disappeared and the wall decorations were removed. In the 1990s the building was closed. In 2001 it was bought by the city of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. It stands empty and is largely left to decay. The building was placed under protection as a cultural asset in 2007 under the number RI-51-0010945.

Fortifications

According to the ordinance of the Ministry of National Education of April 22, 1949 on the protection of Spanish fortifications, these are protected even without a specific statement. The legal ordinances of the Canarian government on this subject mostly concern the exact delimitation of the protected areas and partly the inclusion of the environment in the protection.

Castillo de Paso Alto
  • Castillo de Paso Alto

The plan to build a defense system on the site of the Castillo de Paso Alto goes back to Leonardo Torriani , who at the end of the 16th century submitted proposals to King Philip II for a better defense of the Canary Islands. Initially, only a cannon for the field artillery was built here, later a small fortification system. During the English attack on Santa Cruz de Tenerife in 1657, this facility was badly damaged, less by direct fire. The main damage was caused by the fact that the mountain behind the Castillo was hit by a landslide. By 1670, the complex was expanded into a fortress structure. A strong storm on December 18, 1774 put the Castillo in a state that the repair work, which lasted until 1782, amounted to a new building. During the attack on Santa Cruz de Tenerife (1797) , the Castillo de Paso Alto was at the center of the first two landing attempts by the British Navy. After the old fortifications became worthless to defend the island, the building served as a military prison. In 1951, parts of the facility were demolished for the construction of a road. The remains of the building were placed under protection as a cultural asset by the government of the Comunidad Autónoma de Canarias in 1993 under the number RI-51-0008255.

Castillo de San Andrés
  • Castillo de San Andrés

The town of San Andrés is located about eight kilometers north-east of downtown Santa Cruz. The bay where the place is located served as a haven of refuge. But it was also called by pirates not only to bunker drinking water here, but occasionally also to rob the population. In addition, there was basically the possibility of landing there and then attacking in a wide arc over land, La Laguna or Santa Cruz. The construction of a fortification that began in 1706 was destroyed by a landslide before the work was completed. In 1740 there was a tower at the mouth of the valley into the sea, which is said to have not been very stable. The Castillo played a role in the attack on Santa Cruz de Tenerife (1797) , at least in the observation of the British Naval Association. Since the system was no longer necessary for defense purposes, the cannons were dismantled in 1878. In 1896 part of the tower collapsed as it can still be seen today. The city of Santa Cruz de Tenerife has owned the Castillo de San Andrés since 1926. The remains of the building were placed under protection as a cultural asset in 1993 by the government of the Comunidad Autónoma de Canarias under the number RI-51-0008256.

  • Castillo de San Juan (Castillo Negro) and Casa de la Pólvora
Castillo de San Juan

The Castillo de San Juan is located in the south-eastern part of the city directly on the sea. The colloquial name "Castillo Negro" is not due to its appearance (Negro = black), but to the fact that the facility was built to protect the bay "Caleta de Negros". Construction was decided in 1619. The facility was only completed in 1643. It consisted of a round tower made of house stones. The gun platform was on the semicircular area on the lake side. There were rooms on the semicircular area on the land side. At the beginning of the 18th century the building fell into disrepair, especially on the lake side. The Castillo was restored in 1765 and 1766. At the end of the 19th century, the Castillo de San Juan was no longer of strategic importance. In 1924 the sale was ordered by royal decree. In 1948 plans were made to set up a military museum in the complex.

The area between the Castillo de San Juan and the Ermita de Regla, outside the inhabited urban area, was defined as a place for a powder magazine (Casa de la Pólvora), in which the gunpowder stocks of the city were to be stored. Work began in 1756 and ended in 1758. A rectangular building with a barrel vault and reinforced walls at the sides was built, which was also surrounded by a high wall. The complex was ceded to the city of Santa Cruz de Tenerife in 1926 together with the Castillo de San Cristóbal. The Castillo de San Juan and the Casa de Polvora were also placed under protection as a cultural asset by the government of the Comunidad Autónoma de Canarias in 1993 under the number RI-51-0008257. Both the Castillo Negro and the Casa de Polvora are z. Currently (2013) empty.

  • Castillo de San Joaquín
Castillo de San Joaquin

The Castillo de San Joaquin is, unlike the other defensive fortifications in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, not on the coastline. It is located on the city limits between Santa Cruz and La Laguna. It was built to protect La Laguna from attackers who could land in Santa Cruz. The Castillo de San Joaquin was built at the end of the 16th century. The construction of this defense system goes back to the recommendation of Leonardo Torriani to Philip II . The plans came from the military engineer Fausto Caballero. The building has a square floor plan with four round towers at the corners. The fortress was equipped with cannons and also served as a powder magazine. In 1944 a military prison was established in the building. During the renovation that was necessary for this, windows were broken into the outer walls. In the 1990s, the Ministry of Defense sold the Castillo to a private individual. Since then it has been left to decay.

The Castillo de San Joaquin was placed under protection as a cultural asset in 2000 by the government of the Comunidad Autónoma de Canarias under the number RI-51-0008258.
