    Nine statues of the Guanche kings stand diagonally opposite the basilica on the sea side of the Plaza de la Patrona de Canarias in Candelaria. They are also called "Menceys" in Tenerife, because when the Canary Islands were conquered by the Spaniards in the 15th century, Tenerife was divided into nine kingdoms (Menceyatos), each of which was ruled by a chief, the "Mencey".

    The Guanche kings and their territories:

    Acaymo: Mencey from Tacoronte (North Coast)
    Adjona: Mencey from Abona (southeast coast)
    Anaterve: Mencey of Güímar (east coast)
    Bencomo: Mencey of Taoro (North Coast)
    Beneharo: Mencey of Anaga (Northeast)
    Pelicar: Mencey of Adeje (South West Coast)
    Pelinor: Mencey of Icod (Northwest Coast)
    Romen: Mencey from Daute (northwest coast)
    Tequeste: Mencey from Tegueste (North East Coast)
