Basilica of Our Lady of Candelaria

Highlight • Religious Site

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

The Virgin of Candelaria, a miraculous image in the Basilica of Candelaria on Tenerife, is the portrayal of Mary as the patron saint of the Canary Islands. From there, with the emigration from the Canary Islands, their veneration expanded to Latin America. (Wikipedia)

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)

Plaza de los Pescadores

Highlight • Monument

Small promenade at the fishing port. The fish market of Candelaria used to be here. The freshly caught fish was sold right out of the boat. A sculpture on the edge of the square now commemorates this time.
