It is estimated that the foundation was realized in thanksgiving for the victory achieved in the lagoon of Lagunera. They were difficult and decisive moments for the conquest of the Canary Islands and the Spaniards with new reinforcements, after the ' Matanzade Acentejo ' they are ready to win. So, going up in front of the Adelantado D. Alonso Fern ndez de Lugo, from the camp they had in the Port of Santa Cruz, at the height of the promontory of Gracia, asked if they won the battle, raise a hermitage in the same place , where then the Royal had settled to rest. It was released on November 14, 1494, favorable to the Spanish army and in that same place where the troops had settled, at an improvised altar, the 'Te Deum ' was sung and the can nigo said a mass Alonso Samarinas This being to the germ of the future construction. The building of the hermitage could be framed after 1497. According to Riquelme P rez there are few, although very interesting, the factory data of this primitive hermitage. They assure that it was the first one made in stone, there are even those who suppose it the first construction of La Laguna, or that it was completed at the same time as the church of Santiago del Realejo Alto. Successive reconstructions suggest that the first construction was not as solid as it seems to indicate the fact that it was the first one built in stone or that perhaps it was made by Miguel Alonso, the pedrero, and Diego D az, the stonecutter, It was a work without much resistance since it only took a few years for it to be completely ruined. In the second building of the hermitage the nave and the chapel had to be carried out again, being the materials used, the peaks of the time, essentially: songs, stone, lime, sand and wood. Masonry was used for the walls, reinforcing stone in the corners, stone for the arches of doors and windows and for the arch and finally, the wood for the doors and ceiling inside. The construction of the bell tower was carried out in a simple way, it consisted of a sword that took the form of a semicircular arch, of a stone, topped by pinions. |
