The Basílica de Nuestra Señora de Candelaria ("Basilica of Our Lady of Candelaria"), also Basílica de la Virgen de Candelaria, is located in the municipality Candelaria about 20 kilometers south of Santa Cruz de Tenerife by the sea. The pilgrimage church was built for the miraculous image of the Virgin of Candelaria. In 2011, the church was awarded the title of Basilica Minor. The building is registered in the Registro de Bienes de Interés Cultural (List of Spanish Cultural Heritage) and the largest church dedicated to the Virgin Mary in the Canary Islands. The shrine is visited annually by 2.5 million pilgrims and tourists. WIKIPEDIA

Very impressive and most important pilgrimage church in the entire Canary Islands. The Virgin of Candelaria (Spanish Virgen de Candelaria; Nuestra Señora de Candelaria) is the patron saint of the Canary Islands.
Diagonally opposite the church, on the seafront of the Plaza de la Patrona de Canarias, there are nine larger than life statues of the most famous Guanche kings, who were called Menceys.

Large and important pilgrimage church here on Tenerife. A tree monument visible from afar. An inside tour is also recommended.
