The 'Parroquia de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe de Teguise' is much more than the local parish church. With its striking bell tower, it is the iconic landmark of the former capital of Lanzarote and is an essential part of the town's skyline.

The church was built in the first half of the 15th century as a simple windowless building with seats carved into the stone walls. Due to its old age, the building had to endure the numerous lootings, fires and destruction to which Teguise fell victim. In 1909 the church, which had three naves since the 18th century, suffered another fire, but was soon restored with the help of donations from the population Church thus the tallest building in Teguise and the religious pinnacle of the island of Lanzarote. Over time, the Mother Church of Lanzarote has housed more and more elements of the island's most complete ecclesiastical heritage, becoming one of the most important churches in the entire region.
