CAPILLA DE CRUZ DE LA CALLE LAS TOSCAS DE ROMERO

Villa de Los Realejos
- Arquitectura Religiosa. Capillas -




This contemporary building belongs to the group of chapels dedicated to the dissemination and devotion to the Holy wood in Los Realejos, a tradition that is closely linked to two historical facts, the first one we can look for in the conquest of the island of Tenerife in 1496 and the placement of a wooden cross in what later became the temple of Santiago Ap stol, of which remains are still preserved within the silver filigree cross of (1677) that houses the aforementioned temple. Meanwhile, the second fact can be associated with the foundation at the beginning of the 17th century of the convent of Santa Lucia belonging to the Franciscan Order, which led to those friars placing crosses in different places away from the population centers establishing their own V a Crucis.



Capilla de Cruz de la calle Las Toscas de Romero

Rectangular building with gable roof and roof covering. Inside it houses a small altar with a wooden cross and a Santa Marta stamp. The main façade resolved in the traditional way by means of a single vain with a semicircular arch shows a curb made by stone cladding. The country is topped by a cornice that runs along the triangular front and on both sides small pilasters crowned with a diamond tip. The composition is finished by a new single-spade sword with a semicircular arch and bell with a stone cross on it.
